Ingredients
1/2 cup (85g) halal-certified butter, cold
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
5–7 tbsp cold water
2 tbsp neutral vegetable oil (sunflower or corn)
1 1/3 cups halal sausage slices or pre-cooked chickpea crumbles
2 scrambled eggs or 1/2 cup mashed tofu (vegetarian option)
1/3 cup dried cranberries or chopped apricots
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Cut butter and oil into flour using a pastry cutter until coarse meal consistency.
Add water 1 tbsp at a time until dough holds shape; knead gently 5-6 times.
Rest dough 10 minutes.
Roll dough 1/8″ thick, cut into 3″ circles.
Warm halal sausage 3-4 minutes until browned; mix with scrambled egg and cranberries.
Place 2 tbsp filling on dough circles, fold in half, press seams firmly.
Brush tops with vegan cheese or egg wash. Bake 18-22 minutes at 400°F (200°C) until golden.
Notes
Add 1/4 cup more flour if dough is sticky.
Chill assembled pockets for at least 2 hours before baking or freeze for long-term storage.
Use parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Substitute vinegar mixed with water for vegan cheese wash.
