Method
Prepare the Dough
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour and salt. Cut in the cold cubed unsalted butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Beat the egg in a separate bowl, then mix it into the flour mixture, adding cold water until a cohesive dough forms. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Make the Filling
- Heat a skillet over medium heat, add oil, and sauté chopped onions and bell peppers for 4-5 minutes. Stir in shredded chicken and cumin, cooking for 2 more minutes, then mix in cheese until melted. Cool slightly.
Assemble the Empanadas
- Preheat oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll out the chilled dough to 1/8 inch thick. Use a round cutter to cut circles, then place filling on one half of each circle and fold to seal.
Egg Wash and Bake
- Transfer empanadas to the baking sheet. Beat an egg for egg wash and brush it over the empanadas. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
