Does my filing have too much moisture, or is there something that I can add to the dough to keep it firm longer after baking? It can indeed be that your filling holds a lot of moisture. My apple filling has the consistency of a thick puree and is not runny. I do not know what type of consistency your filling had. What you can do is put the filling in a sieve first before using it, that way any excess moisture can drain from your filling and will not end up in your empanadas.

After baking I let leftover empanadas cool and either store them in the fridge if I want to eat them the next day or store them in the freezer. In all cases, I warm the empanadas again in the oven before serving this will revive the empanadas and firm them up.

Hope this helps. You can make them by hand and use a wooden spoon en your hands to make the dough. Add the butter to the flour and first stir with a wooden spoon and try to break up the dough and combine it into a dough. When you have a crumbly texture and then add as described in the recipe using your hands to knead it into a dough. It will take a bit more effort to do it by hand but you can make it without a kitchen machine. Do you brush melted butter or something else on the empanadas before you bake them they look so shiny Or is that just the butter.

Thank you. I never made empanada dough with bread flour. It contains more gluten than all-purpose flour but if that is what you got I would try it. Let us know how it turned out. But I can imagine it to work so why not give it a try. Would love to know how it turns out. If you can make bread dough in this blender it should not be a problem to make empanada dough. If it is a blender to make smoothies with, I do not think it will work.

I find the fastest way to make empanada is by using a small tortilla presser. I would weigh my dough and make a tiny ball and flatten it in the presser. Could you possibly include a picture of your kitchen machine? Shannon you can see my food processor in the recipe video. I use a Philips food processor similar to a Kenwood or Magimix food proceesor. If you make the dough in a food processor I would not knead the dough after in a Kitchenaid mixer.

You can make the empanada dough in a Kitchenaid mixer. It works the same as a food processor so as soon as the dough comes together and forms into a ball and comes away from the side of the bowl your dough is done. You can take it out of the bowl and wrap in cling film to rest in the fridge. Does this answer your question?

Thanks for the great recipe. If i leave the dough in the fridge overnight should I let it warm up for and certain amount of time before rolling it out? Thank you for your comment. I do not let the dough warm-up when I take it out of the fridge.

If your fridge is really cold and it is not possible to roll out the dough leave it on the kitchen counter for 5 minutes and try to roll it out. You can indeed use a tortilla press to make empanada rounds. I made this exactly the way the video showed. But it puffed up beautifully!

Only problem I had was my own fault…. I filled them too full…. Is there other things this dough could be used for? Glad to hear the empanadas puffed up. Indeed adding too much filling can cause issues. If you search empanadas here, you can find a lot different fillings you can make and turn them in breakfast empanadas, sweet empanadas, etc.

Start by shredding a large chicken breast or two so that you have two cups of shredded chicken. Sprinkle the taco seasoning over the shredded chicken and stir so that the chicken is evenly covered in the taco seasoning.

Then in a medium bowl, combine the seasoned chicken with green chiles, sour cream, and shredded cheese. Fold the other half of the tortilla on top of the green chile chicken filling and press the edges with a fork. See the printable recipe below for more details.
