Preparation

  1. To make the filling, melt the butter in a pan, when foaming add the leek and saute for 8-10 minutes until they’re creamy, soft and caramelised. Season with salt & pepper.

  5. Cut 1 inch slits down the left and right sides of your pastry alongside the filling and brush with oat milk.
  6. Fold the pastry into the middle over the filling, brush top with oat milk and sprinkle with poppy seeds.
  7. Bake in a preheated oven at 200C fan for 30 minutes until your tree has puffed up and is golden brown.
  8. Serve with delicious hasselback potatoes and roast sprouts!
