Instruction manual
1
Make puff pastry or thaw ready. Prepare a teddy bear template. Lightly sprinkle a piece of parchment paper with flour. Expand the puff pastry and place it on the parchment.
2
Sprinkle the dough with flour on top, roll out with a rolling pin to fit the pattern. Lay bear pattern on dough sheet. Cut the silhouette with a knife or pastry wheel.
3
Cut four wide strips for the sides from the remaining dough. Mix the egg with one teaspoon of water (milk or cream). Lubricate the entire surface of the teddy bear with the mixture. Spread strips around the edge, remove excess dough.
4
Carefully move the product along with a sheet of parchment paper on a baking sheet. Fill holes with a fork over the entire area of the dough except for the borders.
5
Refrigerate for 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 400ºC. Bake the dough for 15-18 minutes until golden brown.
6
Remove the pastries from the oven, gently sprinkle cheese on top, then spread the meat for shawarma. Bake another 8-10 minutes, until the meat is ready.
7
Decorate the finished cake. Cut a large oval from the cheese for the bear's muzzle and two small ones for the paws, six small circles for the nails. Draw rounded ears from pieces of cheese.
8
From olives, make eyes and nose, dividing them in half along. Make a heart of red pepper or tomato with a knife or cookie cutter. Serve the cake hot.
