Ingredients

• 250 grams All-purpose flour
• 60 grams Unsalted butter
• 100 grams Greek yogurt (low fat)
• 60 milliliters Cold water
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 unit Egg

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Mix well.

Step 2

Cut the unsalted butter into small cubes. Add these cubes to the flour mixture.

Step 3

Using your fingertips, gently rub the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.

Step 4

Stir in the low-fat Greek yogurt, mixing until incorporated.

Step 5

Gradually add cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing after each addition until the dough begins to come together. The dough should be slightly sticky but workable.

Step 6

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead for 2-3 minutes until smooth.

Step 7

Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow it to rest.

Step 8

Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 9

After chilling, roll the dough out onto a floured surface to about 1/4-inch thickness and into a rectangular shape.

Step 10

Beat the egg in a small bowl and use it as an egg wash to brush over the surface of the dough.

Step 11

Roll the dough tightly from one end to the other, forming a log.

Step 12

Cut the log into 1 to 1.5-inch slices and place them flat onto the prepared baking sheet.

Step 13

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the pastry rolls are golden brown and flaky.

Step 14

Allow to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy your low-fat flaky pastry rolls warm or at room temperature.
