Ingredients

Dough

  • 20 g of baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon of sugar
  • 1/4 liter of warm milk
  • 400 g of Selecta® Wheat Flour
  • 100 g margarine
  • 1/2 teaspoon of salt

Filling

  • 1 tablespoon of chopped onion
  • 150 ml of white wine
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1/2 teaspoon of cilantro
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper
  • 1 teaspoon of salt
  • 2 cans of tuna
  • 150 g of button mushrooms
  • 2 tablespoons of margarine

Preparation

  • In a bowl, mix the baking soda, sugar, and 4 tablespoons of warm milk, then let it sit for 15 minutes.
  • Next, add the Selecta® Wheat Flour and the remaining ingredients, mix everything thoroughly to form the dough, and let it rest for 30 minutes until it doubles in size.
  • In a separate pan, cook the finely chopped onion with the wine, bay leaf, cilantro, pepper, and salt; when it comes to a boil, add the tuna and let it cook for 10 more minutes.
  • Melt the margarine in a skillet and sauté the mushrooms for 3 minutes; remove them from the heat and add them to the tuna.
  • Roll out the dough with a rolling pin to form discs that are 9 cm in diameter and 1/2 cm thick.
  • Divide the tuna among the wrappers, fold them in half, and seal the edges by pressing down with a fork to form the empanadas.
  • Brush them with a mixture of egg and milk and place them on a baking sheet.
  • Preheat the oven for 5 minutes at 180°, place the empanadas inside, and bake for about 30–35 minutes.
