Ingredient
Amount
Self-raising flour
2 cups
Margarine, chopped
30 grams
Reduced fat milk
½ cup
Water

Refried beans

Tomato passata

Method
Preheat oven to 200°C and line two baking trays with baking paper.
Sift the flour into a bowl, add the chopped butter and gently rub into the flour using your fingertips until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
Make a well in the centre of the flour mix and add the combined water and milk.
Using a butter knife, mix quickly to a soft sticky dough.
Turn out onto a floured surface and knead lightly.
Divide the dough into 10 even sized pieces and press or roll into rounds, 10-12 cms in diameter.
In a small bowl combine the refried beans and passata, mix well.
Spread the mixture over the dough rounds, leaving a gap at the outer edge. Sprinkle with cheese and parsley.
Roll the dough round up into a cylinder shape, then twist a few times before placing onto the prepared trays. Brush lightly with some milk. Sprinkle cheese on top of each twist.
Place in the oven and bake for 10-15 minutes or until light and golden.
Place in a paper bag, then into the pie warmer until ready to serve.
