- 500 grams ofshortcrust pastryor breeze
- 1 cup of thick guava jam
- 1 egg (optional)
- 1 teaspoon of butter
Divide your dough into two equal parts. Take one part and place it on a lightly floured surface. Roll it out to a thickness of about 0.3 cm. Then cut the shape of the mold you are going to use and repeat the same with the other half of the dough.
Preheat the oven to 200ÂșC.
Before baking, butter the bottom of the pan and lightly sprinkle it with flour to avoid the dough sticking when removing the guava pie. Avoid using deep pans unless they are removable.
Once you have the dough ready in the mold, prick it with a fork to avoid it puffing up. Add the guava jam and cover everything with the second layer of dough you prepared earlier. Fold the edges and press them down so they don't open while baking.
If you want your guava pie to have a shiny golden color, lightly brush it with beaten egg. But this is an optional step.
Make small holes with a knife in the center of the dough to prevent it from inflating. Bake at 200ÂșC for 15 minutes. The correct time will depend on the particular characteristics of each oven and the amount of dough you prepare.
To know that it is ready, just check the toasted color of the dough and verify that it has received heat evenly. It should be golden and crispy.
Let the guava pie cool before cutting it; remember that the jam inside can burn.
I hope you enjoy this recipe. Bon appétit!!
