Samsa made from store-bought puff pastry
Description
Of course, baked goods made from homemade dough are much tastier and healthier, but sometimes it's okay to take a shortcut. Puff pastry, like yeast dough, requires time—yeast dough works well on its own, but puff pastry usually needs to be rolled out manually, which is often the most labor-intensive step. Fortunately, modern stores offer a wide selection of ready-made dough, allowing you to choose higher quality and suitable options. It can be served with tea or coffee.
