Strudel Pasties - Savoury

I am just back home after a month holidays in Srilanka.I  guess I have missed alot on Ibles specially the Pizza contest which I was looking forward  to take part., unfortunately I was on holidays  :(
Here again a nice recipe of Strudel Pasties Savoury from the famous  Dr Oetker from Germany.
The strudel dough is very nice ,you can use this dough for other stuffs too.
Preparation time  - about 45 min excluding resting time
Baking time  20 min

For the Strudel
250 Gr  all purpose flour
1 Pinch Salt
100 ml lukewarm water
1 medium egg
2 tspoon cooking oil
Freshly ground  black pepper

For the Filling
500 Gr Aubergines
2 tablespoons cooking oil
60 gr Salami
3 cloves garlic
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper

For Coating
50 gr butter

To make the dough,shift the flour into a mixing bowl.Add the other ingredients for the dough and stir with a hand mixer with a kneading hook.First briefly at the lowest setting,then at the hightest setting to make a smooth dough.As for pepper you can add the way you want it.I added more as I like to eat really hot spicy stuffs.

Boil some water in a small pan,pour out the water away and wipe dry,put the dough in the hot pan lined with baking parchment.Cover with the lid and set a side for 30 minutes.

Wash the. Aubergines and wipe dry,Cut of the ends and finely chop the aubergines.Heat the oil add  the  aubergines and fry on slow fire.Peel and crush the garlic.Add to the aubergines.Let it cook on slow fire until it reduces into half quantity.Time to time stir the Aubergines.
Finely chop the salami and add this too.Season with salt and freshly grounded pepper and let it cool.
**Even though the recipe gives 2table spoon oil,I used a little bit more ,so that the Aubergines cook fast with out getting caught to the pan.

Set your oven to :
Top/Bottom heat about 200°C/400° F (Preheated)
Prepare your baking sheet

Roll out the dough to a rectangle  of 60X30 cm  on a large  floured surface.Cut in to 18 squares of 10x10cm.Put some filling on half of each square,then fold the other half on top and press the edges together.
**
I have rolled them out in different sizes as it was done just for me and for my husband.When you are making for guests please make sure to have them on the above size or up to you to decide how big/small you want.Pasties are made big

Arrange the Pasties on the baking sheet,melt the butter and brush on top of the pasties.Bake for 20 minutes.
Brush the Pasties with the rest of the butter while they are baking.

Hmm..These spots are due to the butter.I applied alot to make it brown. They are not burnt !!

Serve the Strudel Pasties warm.They go well with chillie paste and tomatoe sauce mixed together. Enjoy
