Aussie Meat Pie

This is Australians' favorite food. Wholemeal flour makes the crust crispy, and adds a bit of natural goodness to it. Makes one 22cm large pie , or 6 small / individual-ones.

Ingredients:
Crust-
1/4 cup boiling water
1 1/2 cup wholemeal flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup melted butter
1/4 tsp baking powder
(Classic crust: 220g flour, 1 tbs water, 1/4 tsp baking powder, 1 tbs lemon juice, 110g butter, 1 egg yolk, 1/2 tsp salt)
Filing-
1 1/2 tbs of olive oil
1 large brown onion, finely chopped
500 grams of ground, lean beef (beef mince)
1 1/2 Tbsp of cornstarch
1 cup of beef stock
2 tbs cup of tomato paste
1 tbsp of Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
1 tsp Vegemite (or substitute 1 vegetable stock cube)
1-2 tbs soy sauce
For brushing 1 egg, beaten
Method:
Crust- Mix all dry ingredients for the crust. Pour water over butter (in another bowl), mix a bit, then bring all ingredients together, mixing with a spoon. Let it cool slightly, then knead; form a ball and let it rest 20 minutes(wrapped in a cling wrap).
Filing- Heat oil in a pan, cook onions until translucent. Add mince, cook until it changes its colour. Mix corn flour with soy sauce. Season mince and add other ingredients. Cook until thick.
Assembly- Roll out the dough (between sheets of paper or cling wrap) to make 2 circles - 26cm and 22cm. Put larger circle into a pie dish (22cm), press edges into the dish wall, spoon filing over it and cover with smaller circle. Press edges together, cut a small hole in the middle of pie, brush with beaten egg and bake 20-25 minutes on 180*C. Serve with tomato sauce (Ketchup)

Ankica je trazila recept za Australijsku pitu sa mesom. Dolje u receptu je naveden nacin na koji ja pravim tijesto; klasicni sastojci su navedeni u zagradi.

1/4 solje vrele vode
1 1/2 solja brasna od punog zrna
1/2 k soli
1/2 solje otopljenog maslaca

(Klasicno tijesto: 220 gr brasna, 1 K vode, 1/4 k praska za pecivo, 1 K soka limuna, 110 gr maslaca, 1 zumance, 1/2 k soli)
Fil-
1,5 K ulja
1 veci crveni luk, sjeckan
500 gr mljevenog mesa, junetina
1,5 K 'Gustina' ili slicno
1 solja govedjeg bujona
2 K tomato pirea
1 K "Worcerstershire" sosa
1 k svjeze mljevenob bibera
1 k 'Vegemite' (Namaz)- ili 1 kocka za supu od povrca
1-2 K sojinog sosa
Za premazati 1 jaje, umuceno
Nacin:
Tijesto- Pomijesajte sve suhe sastojke. Na to dodajte maslac i vodu (koju ste pomijesali odvojeno). Brzo promijesajte, ostavite malo ohladiti, zatim umijesite. Zamotajte u foliju i ostavite odmarati 20-ak minuta.
Fil- Zagrijte ulje, isprzite luk. Dodajte meso i proprzite. Pomijesajte Gustin i soja sos. Dodajte sve ostale zacine i sastojke u meso. Kuhajte dok se ne zgusne.
Razvucite tijesto u 2 kruga, 22cm i 26 cm. Veci krug smjestite u kalup od 22 cm, pazeci da se visak 'zlijepi' za zidove. Uspite fil, pa preko njega stavite manji krug tijesta. Stisnite krajeve tijesta da se zalijepe. Naprevite prorez u sredini pite, premazite jajetom i pecite 20-25 minuta na 180*C. Sluzite sa Kecapom.
Umjesto 1 velike pite mozete napraviti 6 malih, ukoliko imate kalupe.
