Components
- 300 g of pastry dough
- Two fully matured natural bananas
- 1/2 cup of chocolate tea added to chopped milk (approximately 80 g)
- oil used for blending pastels
Setup phase
- Remove the peel and slice the bananas lengthwise in half. Then, cut each half into halves once more and chop into 0.5 cm pieces. Combine the bananas with the chopped chocolate.
- To fill the pastels: cut the dough roll into 12 cm by 10 cm pieces. Put slightly more than one tablespoon of filling on each piece and moisten the edges of the dough with water using your fingertip. Fold the dough and press gently to remove air around the filling and seal the pastels. Use a fork to press the edges, being careful not to stick the dough together, ensuring the pastels stay closed during baking.
- Set the Electrolux Air Fryer by Rita Lobo to 200°C and preheat it, then select the bake mode for 15 minutes — the pastels will cook in approximately 6 minutes.
- Coat the pastels and the bottom of the Air Fryer basket with oil. Arrange 6 pastels (or as many as fit in the basket) side by side. Cook for approximately 6 minutes, or until they turn golden brown — there’s no need to flip them halfway through.
- Take the golden pastels out of the Air Fryer and cook the remaining ones in the same way. Serve immediately.
Please provide the text you would like me to paraphrase.
You can fill the pastels the day before and store them in the refrigerator to bake when ready to serve. To prevent the dough from drying out, arrange the stuffed pastels on a baking tray, cover them with plastic wrap directly on the surface, and place a damp cloth over them.
If you want to freeze them, place the pastels on a baking sheet in the freezer and, once frozen, move them to a food-safe bag of your choice.
Frozen pastels are placed directly from the freezer into an Air Fryer preheated to 220 °C and cooked for approximately 6 minutes.
POWER
These pastels can also be baked in the oven. Arrange them side by side on a large, oiled baking tray. Brush the pastels with oil and bake in a preheated oven at 220 °C for approximately 10 minutes, or until they turn golden brown.
