Ingredients
- 200 g Whole wheat pastry flour
- 100 g Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 60 g Plain Greek yogurt
- 40 g Xylitol or erythritol (granulated sugar alternative)
- 200 g Fresh strawberries (hulled and chopped)
- 10 g Chia seeds
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1 Egg (for egg wash, optional, can substitute with milk for vegetarian option)
- 2 tbsp Almond milk (unsweetened, for brushing edges)
- 1 pinch Salt
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat pastry flour and salt. Add the cold, cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Step 2
Stir in the Greek yogurt and mix until the dough comes together. Knead gently, then form the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes.
Step 3
While the dough chills, prepare the filling. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the chopped strawberries and chia seeds. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the strawberries break down and the mixture thickens. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Let cool completely.
Step 4
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 5
Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/8-inch thickness. Cut into rectangles, approximately 4 inches by 3 inches.
Step 6
Place a small amount of the strawberry filling in the center of half of the rectangles, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges.
Step 7
Brush the edges of the filled rectangles with a little almond milk. Top with the remaining dough rectangles and press the edges together to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative touch.
Step 8
If using an egg wash, beat the egg in a small bowl and brush it over the tops of the pastries. Alternatively, brush with almond milk for a golden finish.
Step 9
Place the pastries on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
Step 10
Allow the pastries to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your sugar-free strawberry pastries!
