Dinner-Ready Tips from the Pennant Kitchen
Keep It Crisp
Always start with a preheated oven (375–400°F). For savory pastries, bake until deep golden brown – usually 20–25 minutes for small items, 30–35 for larger entrées.
Avoid Overfilling
Balance moisture and density; thick sauces or mashed fillings work best to avoid leaking or sogginess. Chill fillings before assembly to keep layers distinct.
Batch Like a Pro
All three recipes can be prepped in advance and frozen unbaked. Bake straight from frozen and just extend bake time by 5–10 minutes!
