I was craving for the Sambal Bilis Puff at Dome Restaurant, but due to lockdown, I've decided to Google the recipes and make them myself. It turns out amazing, crunchy and yummy! The baked puff is still crunchy when I leave it outside overnight.

  1. 1

    Then, dust your table/counter top with flour, roll the chilled dough into a rectangular shape. Fold the dough about 1/3 from the right side and 1/3 from left side. Turn the dough 90 deg, and roll it again into a rectangular share and fold it again. Repeat these steps until you get 4 Turns (1 Turn = 1 step of rolling and folding).

  4. 4

    After you completed 4 Turns, chill the dough in the refrigerator or you can freeze it for about 2-3 months.

  5. 5

    For the sambal bilis, fry the anchovies until golden brown or crispy. Then, put it aside in a bowl.

  6. 6

    Stir fry the onions and garlic until soft. Next, u add the dried chilli paste. Make sure to stir it occasionally so the chilli paste mixture won't get burned and until it is properly cooked.

Cut into a small squares (about 2"x 2"), put the sambal bilis on the square dough, brush the sides with egg wash and fold it into a triangle. Then brush the surface of the pastry with egg wash again and bake it in the oven.
