Techniques
- 2 cup unbleached flour

Measure the flour and salt; have the very cold water ready.
Flour, salt and cold water
- ⅔ cup very cold water
- butter
Pulse a small amount of the butter into the flour in a food processor several times until well incorporated.
Drizzle in half the water and pulse once; drizzle in the rest and pulse a couple of times. It will not yet be a dough.
Turn out onto the work surface, work in the loose flour and press it out.
Fold one third over the middle and the bottom third up, press out, then roll it up from the side like a jelly roll and press it out.
- cream cheese
- 2 oz goat cheese
- ricotta cheese
- zest of orange
- black pepper
Pulse cream cheese, goat cheese, ricotta, orange zest and black pepper in the food processor until thoroughly combined. Slice the quince paste thinly.
A sweet three-cheese filling
- quince paste
Cut the chilled dough in half and roll each half to about 10 by 13 inches; lay one on a parchment-lined cookie sheet.
Assembling the hojaldra
Spread the filling over it, leaving about an inch uncovered all round, and top with the quince paste.
- 1 whole egg
Beat the egg; brush it around the edges, drape over the second sheet, press the seams and seal the edges with a fork.
