· Samsa is often unstuck, juices flow out, burn on the baking sheet. Therefore, special attention should be paid to the quality of the seams. When using ready-made puff pastry, which in itself is dry, it is desirable to grease the joints with egg or water.
· Samsu before baking can not be lubricated, but if sesame is poured, the surface should at least be wetted with water, otherwise the seeds simply do not stick.
· The size of samsa is a matter of personal taste. Large triangles look appetizing, and small products are prepared faster, it is more convenient to use them.
· Any filling will be juicier if you add fat or diced lard. You can just crumble the butter, but the taste will be a little different.
