In the interest of making things easier in getting ready for work, we’ve been experimenting with a yeast-raised-dough version of the pastie. There’s only one problem with these, other than the fact that we already ate them, so they won’t be much good for lunch, and that’s the fact that they’re huge.
I can’t seem to manage to shape anything which would fit into a tiffin tin! I routinely carry a tiffin tin, the alternative being to have things get smashed up and battered about. So … we’ll be continuing the experiment.
This afternoon’s batch is a wee bit smaller … but nowhere near to being small enough (my tiffin tin is about 5″ across). As you can see, these pies are nowhere near small enough, and today’s are probably closer to this size than to the right size. Ahh, well. There’s a square one in today’s batch – we’ll see if that one fits into the round tiffin. Today’s batch also contains four different mixes of filling:
- pinto bean + Realeat veggie meat + cheese
- potato + Realeat veggie meat + onion + mushroom + green beans + cheese
- marinara sauce + real-eat veggie meat + mushroom + cheese
- apples + cinnamon
- apples + cinnamon + creamed cheese + cranberry preserves
The apples + cinnamon will fit into the tiffin. Everybody else … may have to be eaten at home, for every meal, for the next several days. Yum!

Will you do mail orders? Those meat pies look VERY tasty!
Okay, I simply need a job to pay for an airline ticket to come and eat at your house again!
Yum! is right. Very tasty sounding and looking.

Yeasted "meat" pies–oh super delicious looking! I'm going to have to recreate these come fall/winter!
Yum, lovely! Use a tea plate for size and less filling, but I know what you mean, I tend to make rather large pasties too! It is easily done.
It's all too easy to make massive pies. They seem to have a mind of their own.
I love the sound of apple, cream cheese and cranberry. Yum!
These sound yummy! You may find that rolling the bread dough really thin and cuting the rounds with a juice glass helps for smaller ones…of course that means less space for fillings, but there is always a trade off, isn't there?
