Cannabis-Infused Savory Pastries: A Gourmet Delight

Hello, I’m John “Magic” Greenleaf, your go-to source for all things cannabis. Today, we’re diving into a deliciously unique corner of cannabis cuisine—savory pastries. If you’re looking to elevate your taste buds and culinary expertise, cannabis-infused savory pastries offer an adventurous twist that combines the art of baking with the benefits of cannabis.

The Art of Cannabis Infusion

Infusing cannabis into pastries can be an art form. The key lies in balancing the flavors of your pastry with the earthy notes of cannabis. Selection of the right strain plays a crucial role; high-altitude sativas like my “S t” strain add a citrus-pine aroma that complements savory ingredients beautifully.

Step-by-Step Guide to Creating Savory Pastries

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, cold
  • 1/4 cup ice water
  • 1/4 cup cannabis-infused olive oil (see below for infusion instructions)
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • Your choice of fillings (cheese, caramelized onions, herbs, etc.)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, mix flour and salt. Cut in cold butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add ice water and cannabis-infused olive oil. Mix until dough forms a ball. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  2. Roll and Fill: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1/8 inch thickness. Cut into your desired shapes.
  3. Fill and Fold: Place your filling in the center of each dough piece. Fold and crimp the edges to seal.
  4. Bake: Place pastries on a baking sheet, apply egg wash, and bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.

Preparing Cannabis-Infused Olive Oil

Instructions:

  1. Decarboxylate your cannabis by baking it at 240°F (115°C) for 45 minutes.
  2. Add the decarboxylated cannabis to a saucepan with the olive oil.
  3. Simmer on low heat for about 3 hours, stirring occasionally, without letting the oil boil.
  4. Cool and strain the oil through a cheesecloth, storing it in a sealed container for future use.

Conclusion

Embarking on the journey of making cannabis-infused savory pastries not only enhances your culinary skills but also offers a unique way to enjoy the benefits of cannabis. Whether you’re a pro or a novice, these pastries are sure to impress and delight at any gathering. Remember, “Healthy roots, healthy buds, happy harvests.”

Until next time, keep growing greatness, one strain at a time.
