Method

Dough Preparation

  1. 1

    Mixing the Dough

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add warm water and olive oil. Mix with a spoon until it forms a shaggy dough.

  2. 2

    Kneading the Dough

    Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Cover it with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Filling Preparation

  1. 3

    Sautéing Ingredients

    In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, green bell pepper, and garlic. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are soft.

  2. 4

    Adding Chorizo

    Add the diced chorizo to the skillet and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in the black pepper and paprika, mixing well.

  3. 5

    Combining with Cheese

    Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the grated cheese until melted and combined. Let the filling cool slightly.

Assembling and Cooking

  1. 6

    Rolling Out the Dough

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Divide the rested dough into equal portions. Roll out each portion into a thin circle on a floured surface.

  2. 7

    Filling the Dough

    Place a spoonful of the filling onto one half of the dough circle. Fold the other half over to create a half-moon shape and seal the edges by pressing with a fork.

  3. 8

    Baking

    Transfer the filled pastries to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.

  4. 9

    Serving

    Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your homemade Isastegi warm!
