Baked Cheese and Calabresa Pastry

In a bowl, combine the margarine, water, and a pinch of salt, gradually adding the all-purpose flour. Mix until a smooth dough forms.

Place the dough in a plastic bag and let it rest in the refrigerator for a while to firm up.

Divide the dough and roll it out until thin. Cut circles in your desired pastry shape.

Fill half of the circles with calabresa sausage (use sparingly to avoid overpowering the flavor) and a little cheese. Sweet fillings like banana are an alternative.

Seal the pastries by pressing the edges, using a pastry crimper if you wish. Brush the surface of each pastry with the sifted egg yolk.

Bake the pastries in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for approximately 20 minutes, or until golden brown.
