Instructions for Starch-Enriched Pastry:
- Combine 5.5 cups of flour, 1.5 teaspoons of sugar, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1.5 cups of wheat starch. Create a well in the center.
- Add 1/4 cup (100 ml) of vegetable oil, 2 tablespoons of melted butter, 2 cups of milk, and 1 packet of instant yeast into the well.
- Knead the dough until it reaches a non-sticky consistency. Cover it and let it rise for approximately 2 hours.
- Take walnut-sized portions of the dough, flatten them in your hand, add the cheese and parsley mixture, fold it, then roll it in your hand. Arrange the pastries on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Let them rest on the tray for about 20 minutes for the final rise.
- Give them a shape with a fork, and brush with egg yolk. Optionally, you can add sesame seeds or poppy seeds.

This instant yeast cottony pastry recipe is easy to make due to the inclusion of dry yeast. Additionally, the wheat starch enhances both the rising and the texture of the delicious pastries. We used a mixture of cottage cheese and parsley for the filling, but you can also use cheddar cheese or potato filling if you prefer. This pastry recipe is equally delightful even when kept for a while without getting stale.
It's a light and fluffy pastry recipe that contains plenty of milk, giving it a wonderful taste. If you skip brushing with egg yolk, it becomes an eggless pastry recipe as there are no eggs in the dough. Don't worry, it won't crumble since it doesn't contain eggs. One crucial tip for this pastry recipe is to ensure all ingredients are at room temperature, which helps achieve a nicely risen pastry.
