I found this Gillian McKeith recipe.
for the pastry
• 375g butternut squash baked (see below), mashed and cooled
• 300g wholemeal plain flour
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 60ml cold water mixed with 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Method
To prepare the squash, preheat the oven to 200°C/Gas 6. Place one small butternut squash (about 1.2kg) on a baking tray and cook for 45 minutes or until very soft. Allow to cool for 30 minutes. Place on a board. Carefully peel away the skin and remove the stalk. Cut in half lengthways then scoop out and discard the seeds. Transfer the squash to a large bowl and mash with a potato masher until smooth.
For the pastry, place the mashed squash in a large bowl. Sprinkle over the flour and baking powder, then gradually stir in the water and olive oil mixture using a large spoon until a soft, spongy dough forms. Place on a lightly floured surface and knead to form a large ball – add a little extra flour if the mixture appears too sticky.
Divide the dough into 12 balls and roll out to around 5mm thick. Using an upturned bowl or biscuit cutter, cut into circles about 12cm in diameter. Place six of the circles on a large baking sheet lined with baking parchment. Divide the filling into six portions and place in a rounded heap in the centre each of these circles, leaving a 2cm gap around the edge.
Brush the edges with a little water and cover with the remaining pastry circles, pressing firmly to make a good seal. Crimp the edges by pinching firmly all the way around. Brush lightly with the remaining olive oil, sprinkle with poppy seeds and bake for 30 minutes until the pastry is cooked and lightly browned. Serve hot or cold.
I'm curious how the pastry will turn out.
