About Empanada dough

Empanada dough is a versatile pastry originating from Spanish and Latin American cuisines, commonly used to encase savory or sweet fillings. Traditional empanada dough is made from a simple mixture of flour, fat (such as butter or lard), water, and a pinch of salt, though variations may include eggs for added richness. The dough is rolled into thin rounds and folded over fillings before being baked or fried. While empanadas can be enjoyed as a tasty snack or meal, the nutrition profile of the dough largely depends on preparation methods. Baked empanada dough is generally lower in fat compared to fried versions, making it a lighter option. However, it is often high in refined carbohydrates and may lack fiber or essential nutrients. For a healthier twist, whole-grain flour or alternative flours can be used to boost nutritional value without sacrificing flavor.
