Method

  1. Knead the dough

    Knead the flour, water, oil and salt into a smooth, elastic dough, then cover it and leave it to rest.

    30 min
  2. Make the filling

    Mix the grated pumpkin with the sugar, vanilla sugar and cinnamon, and leave it to stand while the juices release a little.

    10 min
  3. Stretch the dough

    Divide the rested dough into two portions, brush with oil and stretch as thinly as possible.

  4. Layer and roll

    Spread butter over the stretched sheets, scatter the filling evenly over them, then roll the dough up tightly, shape it into a snail and place it in a baking tray.

  5. Bake

    Bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees until golden brown, when the pastry is crisp and the pumpkin has softened.

    45 min
  6. Serve

    Once out of the oven, brush with the remaining butter, rest briefly, then slice and serve.
