👨‍🍳 Method

For the Pastry Filling

1. 1
   In a bowl, mix the tuna, mashed potato, Bulgarian cheese and egg, and season with salt and black pepper.

To assemble

1. 2
   Roll out the dough on a work surface and cut into into squares of about 10 cm.

2. 3
   Place a spoonful of cooled filling in the center of each piece, fold into a triangle and seal the edges well with a fork.

   💡Seal well and press with a fork all along the edges, and don't overfill: a pastry that opens in the oven loses its filling, and in the fryer it fills with oil.
3. 4
   Arrange on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, brush with beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds.

   💡Brush with an egg beaten with a teaspoon of water: the glaze turns shiny and golden, and the sesame sticks to it.
4. 5
   Bake in an oven preheated to 200°C (390°F) 20–25 minutes, until the pastries are puffed and golden underneath too.
