Fresh Milled Flour Pop-Tarts

Pop Tart Dough: This is a lot like pie dough

  • 3 cups (slightly heaping) soft white wheat flour (mill about 2 1/3 cups soft white wheat berries for this recipe and for sprinkling on cutting board)

  • 1 tsp sea salt

  • 1 tbsp Florida Crystals sugar (powdered in grinder for a finer texture)

  • 1 1/4 cups cold butter

  • A few tbsp ice cold water

Directions:

  • Mix flour, salt, and sugar together.

  • Cut in cold butter until crumbly. (I used the magimix and allowed to pulse until nice and crumbly)

  • Slowly add ice cold water just until dough begins to come together and then knead dough with your hands for a few minutes. You want a well formed, soft dough.

  • Divide dough in half, wrap, and refrigerate for about 30 minutes.

  • Roll dough out and cut into rectangles and brush with egg wash.

  • Add your favorite filling (what we used is listed below) to half of the dough strip and allow enough room on the edge to seal the pop tart.

  • Fold the dough and seal edges with a fork. You can brush the top with egg wash to get a nice sheen. Now place on cookie sheet and put in the freezer for 15-30 minutes. This will help produce a nice, flaky pastry.

  • Bake at 375° until lightly golden, about 25-30 minutes

  • Ice them once they've cooled completely

Brown Sugar Filling:

  • 1/2 cup sucanat (ground finer)

  • cinnamon

  • nutmeg

  • 2 tsp flour

  • pinch of salt

  • 2 tbsp melted butter

Icing:

  • 1 cup sucanat (powdered)

  • 1 tbsp water

  • 1 tsp vanilla

  • Slowly add half and half until spreadable consistency is reached
