Pithivier Dough

Filling

Method

Prepare the Dough

  1. 1

    Make the Dough

    In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Add the chilled cubed butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add cold water, mixing until a dough forms. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Prepare the Filling

  1. 2

    Cook the Broccoli Rabe

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Add chopped broccoli rabe and season with salt and pepper. Cook until tender, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.

  2. 3

    Combine the Filling

    In a bowl, combine cooked broccoli rabe, grated Alpha Tolman cheese, toasted sesame seeds, and Calabrian chili jam. Mix well and set aside.

Assemble and Bake the Pithivier

  1. 4

    Roll out the Dough

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface into two circles, about 1/8 inch thick.

  2. 5

    Fill and Seal

    Place the filling in the center of one dough circle. Leave a border around the edge. Place the second dough circle on top and seal the edges by crimping with a fork. Cut a few slits in the top for steam to escape.

  3. 6

    Bake

    Transfer the pithivier to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool slightly before serving.
