Tips:
- Use high-quality olives. The better the olives, the better the pastries will taste. Look for olives that are plump and have a good flavor.
- Pit the olives before using them. This will make it easier to work with the olives and will prevent the pits from getting stuck in your teeth.
- Chop the olives finely. This will help them to distribute evenly throughout the pastries.
- Use a variety of olives. This will give the pastries a more complex flavor. Try using a combination of black, green, and Kalamata olives.
- Add other ingredients to the pastries. This could include cheese, herbs, nuts, or vegetables. Get creative and experiment with different flavor combinations.
- Don't overwork the dough. Overworking the dough will make it tough. Mix it just until it comes together.
- Chill the dough before baking. This will help the pastries to hold their shape.
- Bake the pastries until they are golden brown. This will ensure that they are cooked through.
