Where to find ingredients
You can find all-purpose flour, eggs, and mayonnaise in the baking and condiments aisles of any local supermarket or general food store. For the filling, source fresh proteins or vegetables from the butcher or fresh produce sections.
Preparation method
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise with the flour.
- Gradually incorporate the remaining flour, mixing by hand until the dough becomes homogeneous and stops sticking to your fingers.
- The final texture of the dough should be slightly crumbly.
- Line a baking dish with half of the prepared dough, ensuring the bottom and sides are well covered.
- Add your chosen filling over the dough base.
- Cover the filling with the remaining half of the dough, spreading it evenly to seal the pie.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and the vegetable oil.
- Brush this mixture over the entire surface of the pie.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for approximately 30 to 40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the dough is thoroughly cooked.
