ricotta cheese

🥗Healthier: cottage cheese

💰Cheaper: cream cheese

Cottage cheese offers a lower fat option while maintaining a similar texture.

puff pastry

🥗Healthier: whole wheat pastry

💰Cheaper: homemade dough

Whole wheat pastry adds fiber and nutrients.

Mix 1 kilogram of plain flour with 500 milliliters of cold water and 1 teaspoon of salt in a mixer using the kneading hook.

Test the dough consistency; if it forms nicely, it's ready. If crumbly, add more water.

Knead the dough on a cold bench without adding flour, then cover with glad wrap and let it rest for half an hour to two hours.

Stretch the dough by rolling it out and adding 250 grams of fairy margarine in layers, folding and rolling it 6 to 10 times.

Let the dough rest again for about two hours to reduce elasticity.

Roll out the dough thinly, ideally making it see-through, without tearing it.

Spread the remaining margarine evenly over the rolled-out dough.

Start rolling the dough from one end, stretching it as you roll to make it thinner.
