Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup whole wheat flour (about 120 g)
- 1/2 cup protein powder (about 60 g)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup cold butter, cubed (4 tablespoons / 57 g)
- 1/4 cup yogurt or Greek yogurt (about 60 g)
- 1/4 cup milk (about 60 ml)
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
- Fillings of choice (e.g., cheese, vegetables, meats)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment.
- In a mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, protein powder, and salt; stir to distribute evenly.
- Add cold butter and mix until crumbly using a pastry cutter or forks.
- Stir in yogurt and milk until the dough forms, adding just enough liquid to hold together.
- Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/8–1/4 inch thick and cut into rectangles.
- Place filling on one half of each rectangle, fold over, and seal edges with a fork.
- Brush with egg wash and bake for 15–20 minutes or until golden brown.
- Let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
Keep butter cold for a flakier texture and avoid overworking the dough to prevent toughness.
