Massa de Pastel Rolo 1kg

Product Overview

• Texture: A thin, flexible, and unleavened dough. When deep-fried, it develops a unique, crispy "blistered" surface (the famous bolhas) while remaining light and tender.
• Format: Usually sold as a long continuous sheet rolled up with plastic film separators to prevent sticking. This allows for making "Pastel de Feira" (large rectangular ones) or smaller party-sized snacks.
• The "Secret" Ingredient: Authentic Brazilian pastel dough often contains a small amount of cachaça (cane spirit),which helps create the signature crispy bubbles during frying and prevents the dough from absorbing too much oil.

Key Uses & Fillings

1. Savory Classics: The dough is folded over fillings like seasoned ground beef (carne), melting cheese (queijo), or hearts of palm (palmito).
2. Sweet Treats: It can also be filled with Goiabada (guava paste) and cheese for a "Romeu e Julieta" dessert pastel.
3. Creative Shapes: Beyond traditional rectangles, it can be used to make "Enroladinhos" (fried dough rolls) or even lasagne sheets in a pinch.
