Ingredients
- 1 roll puff pastry (rectangular)
- as needed jam
- 3.5 oz ricotta
- 1 egg
- as needed milk (or egg for brushing)
Tools
- 1 Bowl
- 1 Spoon
- 1 Knife

Steps
Unroll a rectangular puff pastry roll and spread a thin layer of jam (about 3.5 oz) on half of it. You can use the flavor you prefer.
In a bowl, place the ricotta and an egg. Mix with a spoon.
Spread the ricotta cream over the jam and smooth it out well. If desired, you can sweeten according to your taste.
Using the parchment paper provided with the pastry, fold it over.
Seal the edges well with a fork.
Using a knife, make cuts first horizontally and then vertically to create small squares.
Brush the surface with beaten egg or milk. Transfer everything onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper. (You can use the one provided with the pastry).
Bake in a preheated static oven at 350°F. Let it cook for about 20/25 minutes. The pastry should be crispy and golden.
Once ready, sprinkle with powdered sugar and cut the squares along the previous cuts.
Let cool and serve.
