To prepare a delicious pie that will evoke pleasant childhood memories, follow these detailed steps. Start by mixing the lard using a mixer on medium speed until it becomes creamy and fluffy. Add each egg yolk one at a time, making sure to mix very well after each addition so that the mixture becomes homogeneous and airy. This process will add flavor and a soft texture to the dough.
In a separate bowl, combine the flour with the dry yeast and baking powder, mixing them well to ensure the yeast is evenly distributed. Once you have a homogeneous mixture, begin to gradually add the warm milk, continuing to mix. You will notice how the ingredients come together to form an elastic and easy-to-shape dough. Once you have obtained the dough, divide it into four equal parts. From each portion, roll out a very thin sheet, being careful not to tear it, as these will hold the delicious filling.
For the savory filling, you can mix the cheese with the four beaten egg whites, a small yogurt, two tablespoons of semolina, and for a touch of flavor, a few cumin seeds. Alternatively, for a sweet version, combine 300 grams of finely ground walnuts with the four beaten egg whites, 250 grams of sugar, and a splash of rum, which will add a refined note.
Place the first sheet on a tray and spread it with apricot jam, then add the walnut filling. Continue to alternate between sheets, jam, and filling, ensuring that each layer is well distributed. After you have arranged all the sheets, cover the pie with a clean towel and let it rise for about 30 minutes. This step will allow the dough to rise and become fluffy.
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Once the rising time has passed, place the pie in the oven and bake for about 30-35 minutes or until it becomes golden and crispy on the outside. The enticing aromas will spread throughout the house, and when it is ready, the pie will be particularly tasty, a recipe lovingly passed down from grandma's notebook, bringing joy to every meal. Enjoy it warm, with your loved ones!
