Bola De Carne - Portuguese Meat Pie
Ready In: 1 hr
Serves: 6
Ingredients
Directions
- In a large bowl, dilute the yeast with the milk.
- In another bowl, mix the flour, salt and melted margarine.
- Now add this to the diluted yeast, slowly so as not to make any lumps.
- Knead all together.
- Continue kneading as you add the whole eggs, one by one.
- Allow the dough to leaven in a warm place for 2 hours.
- Divide the dough into three parts.
- Roll out each part and cover the bottom of a greased baking tin with one of the parts.
- Cover that with half of the meat.
- Add another piece of pastry and again cover with meat.
- Finish with the last piece of pastry.
- Put in the oven for a short while.
- The book says it should only go in the oven "to give it some consistence".
- Remove and brush the top with the egg-yolk.
- Place it again in a medium hot oven to bake.
