💡 Frequently Asked Questions
It's very simple: leave a vertical strip in the middle for your filling. Using a knife, make cuts from the bottom to the top of the pastry. Place the filling on top and fold the notched pieces towards the middle of the pastry. Simply brush with egg yolk, add the seeds of your choice and place in the oven.
❄️Storage / freezing
Theoretically, it can be kept in the fridge, but the crispness of the dough may soften. So eat it as soon as it comes out of the oven. But believe me, it's so good it won't last long anyway!
