Cheese pie

From the ingredients for the dough, a mixture is kneaded, which is left to rest for at least 15 minutes. This step is essential as it allows the gluten in the flour to relax, which will help achieve thin and elastic sheets. After resting, the dough is divided into smaller pieces, which will be easier to roll out. Use a rolling pin to roll the sheets as thin as possible, being careful to sprinkle a little flour on the work surface so that the dough does not stick.

Once you have obtained thin sheets, they need to be carefully transferred to a baking tray lined with parchment paper or directly into the baking pan. If you want to achieve a more elegant look, you can use a knife or a cutting wheel to cut out the desired shapes. Now it is time to prepare the filling. This can vary from sweet cheese, fruit fillings, nuts, or even chocolate, depending on your preferences. Make sure the filling is well-seasoned to add extra flavor.

Once the filling is ready, start assembling the cake. Place a sheet of dough at the bottom of a tray, add an even layer of filling, then cover with another sheet of dough. Repeat the process until you have used all the sheets and filling. It is important that the last layer is a sheet of dough, which you can brush with a mixture of beaten egg and milk to achieve a golden and crispy crust at the end.

After you have finished assembling the cake, let it rest for about 30 minutes in the refrigerator to firm up a bit and facilitate later cutting. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Bake the cake for 30-40 minutes or until evenly browned. Once ready, let it cool slightly before cutting it into squares or triangles. Serve it warm or at room temperature, sprinkled with powdered sugar for an attractive appearance. This recipe is perfect for any occasion, from parties to family meals, bringing a touch of joy to every slice served.
