I am a Maltese Canadian. and I've been eating these since I could hold them in my hands. delicious !.
wow fantastic Marvin well done, when i lived in Malta mesida bordin st we walked up to amirun i would buy and eat approx 10 lovely pastizza ricotta, yummy. viva Malta and its people i married a Maltese girl we have been married 60yrs now 81yrs old wife 87,goodonya matey.
Fond memories playing the Maltese Squash Open in the 1990’s and having those daily.
This man know how to make them ❤ best one on utube ❤🇨🇦🇲🇹
I visited Malta for the first summer and fell completely in love. I lived on Kinnie and pastizzi for five days, and now really craving it again. Thanks Marvin for this super clear tutorial, your pastizzi looks amazing!
Best pastizzi video: hands down
Oh! When you crunched the baked Pastizzi I was in agony as I could almost taste these delicious pastries! Thank you so very much for this wonderful video. Bless you.
Same!
Ohhhh I miss Pastizzi. Here in Lithuania there are plenty of pastry snacks, but Pastizzi is home and that is my next project to learn to make them, so far I do my one Maltase sasage and Malteas bred. Well done they look so appetizing.
Great vid. I remember in the 90s when pastizzis from The Maltese Cafe in Darlinghurst, Sydney were only 20c each. A bag of 10 for $2 was the best value student food ever. They had ricotta, or spinach and ricotta, or vegetable curry, or curry beef, or dessert pastizzis with stewed apple and custard and some other random fillings. But I always thought the plain ricotta was the tastiest. They also did dine-in pasta dishes really basic like cannelloni and sauce super cheap. Quality budget food in an expensive inner city neighbourhood was a rare gem. Other patisseries just aren't as good as The Maltese Cafe and many times the price today and nowhere the value for money. That place was an institution and a service to the community. Really miss it. Thank you for bringing back the memories. Gonna have to master this myself.
Are you talking about the Maltese Cafe in Newtown?? It hasn't closed down I don't think... they just moved
Thank you for your wonderful compliments about our cuisine. I'm a Maltese in Malta and I could eat pastizzi everyday ... they are SOOOOO good! But, of course, I try very hard not to because they're fattening. ...LOL
Literally watching this and thinking about that shop on crown st 😊 I went to crown st primary so it was every morning for me, chicken mushroom my favorite lol I might give it a go for nostalgic purposes
@@jacquelinezanetta8997 no, the original Maltese cafe was on crown street. Opened in the 80s(ish) closed their doors about 14 years ago.
Wow! I’ve been eating these all my life and really never understand what it takes to make them. Those Pastizzi look unbelievable!!
OMG, THIS LOOKS AMAZING! I lived in Malta for 3 years and it's a really nice place and Pastizzi is one of my favorite foods from there!
Thank you so much Marvin.
Your tutorial is perfect.
My Mother was Maltese. I make a lot of her food. Your pastizzi is perfection.
Fell in love with the Maltese culture during the 70's
in the west end of Toronto - The Junction. Wonderful people and Pastizzi were a regular daily staple served at every Maltese function. Thank you chef Gauci!
Same here. Mid to late 70s and early 80s. Parent's would take me to mass on Sunday in the Junction and afterwards it was Pastizzi and tea from those cute silver mini-kettles at the Malta Bake Shop. Everytime I make it to Toronto now, I make sure I bring back a suitcase full of frozen pastizzi. I may actually try this method.
I live in Lima Peru, thanks for this video, for sure i will try and make them, i miss them so much, and the Kinnie and the Twisteese :-P
Great work Preserving our tradition :)
"Ma's" gone now, but my Mother-in-law and I would spend hours making her recipie from Malta. We made the meat ones as well, all incredibly delicious! We drank the wine and cooked so many the kitchen looked like a bakery. She would get mad at me because I dipped them in A-1 Sauce, lol. I never knew what kind of dish she was cooking, but it was so good! (I'm from Michigan) My wife became an excellent cook because of her Mother "Nellie"!
I followed your recipe and finally I got the best pastizzi I could ever make. Thank you so much for sharing the video with us 😊👌👏
Did you rest the dough in the fridge or on the bench each time? 😊
@@cassiemoralie5731 looked like the bench, but you know what damp weather can do to the dough.
Oh we miss these so much, I can taste them now!
I love to watch him because to know how to do it I try thanks
I've been looking for this since 1960 when I had the first sensation of biting into one of these masterpieces. Thank you so much. Pete
Vielen Dank für ihre Bemühungen gegeben haben
WoW, great video the Pastizzi look very good!❤
thanks for sharing this incredible recipy. otherwise it will be lost in time. thanks again
A lot of effort for the people who sell them for just 50c. 👏👏👏👏
That was absolutely amazing! After all these years growing up eating the little gem's I finally see someone making Maltese pastizzi! You make it look so easy. We'll done 👍
Great video! I used to live in Malta and we used to devour two or three of them in the Cafe Cordina whenever we went to Valetta. Totally addictive! Now I know how to make them, I'll be addicted again! The other addiction was Maltese bread - "Hobs" Do you have a recipe for that toom Marvin? It was the best bread i ever ate!
Thank you so much. I am of Maltese heritage and my maternal grandparents have passed and only one of my aunt's makes them.
Maybe the best explanation/demonstration on youtube as to how to make pastizzi.
This is the best pastizzie recipe l ever seen. Usually l never do comment after watch the videos. Thank you very much for share the recipe.
Listening to you speak brought back so many memories of my time living in Malta! You make it look so easy!
Thanks Marvin,after seeing so many show you how pastizzi is made no e come up to your mark.
Seeing how you make the pastry dough and stretch it and what for years I could not fathom was how those layers were done.after you cut the dough and pressing in the centre and flipping it to add the ricotta ,OMG THIS was the trick.Thank you I will keep seeing the video till its etched in my mind and do it this weekend
THANKS HAFNA martin

Great video! Used to live in Malta and loveeed eating pastizzi ❤
Thanks so much for this.
Amazing !!!😋
Best reciepe for pastizzi I’m gone to try it
Ive lived in Malta it's a beautiful country would love to go back and stay the food is amazing people there are friendly (good people) I made pastizzi when I first got back to the states love it it's been a minute since I made it however I plan to make it this week I never used semolina but everyone's different as well as in cooking thanks for the video it looks so yummy
You’ll be very disappointed if you return to Malta. It’s been taken over by a party of amateur thugs. They are promising other thugs gold and silver and will be there for many years…..until everyone else has left and Malta will be occupied by chavs, hooligans, thugs, thieves and murderers.
Excellent!! Grazie x
Yummmm I love pastizzi these look amazing
Excellent, when I have a moment I will do this and let you know the outcome. We love the Pastizzi and they bring memories of our childhood in Malta…
Prosit Marvin......well done and thank you.
I haven't been back to Malta for 12 years now I miss going every year
My favoriiiite! ❤ not to brag but my workmates call me pastizzi girl because I used to eat pastizzi every morning in the canteen lol 😂😂
Perfect 👍
Fantastic video thanks for sharing I shall definitely try out this recipe. I was born in Malta and now I live in the uk, I love both kinds of pastizzi especially with a bottle of Kinnie.
Can’t wait to try your recipe
They look soooo Good !
Keep putting out the Maltese recipes.
Please let me know what temp you are cooking them at if using degrees. Thanks!

Would love e this fe ipe! Ma y tha ks for sharing this video. X x x
Omg! No wonder they are fattening but absolutely delicious!
Those look amazing. I grew up making them with my mom and have done them in my own. You do things a bit different then I’ve learned and I want to try your way. Thanks for the video!
Hey, Im curious as to what was done differently in your home. Could you share it with me?
I Loooove pastizzi,'s 😋
I love pastizzi both versions👨🍳
Thank you very much for this Video. Already the first tray almost perfect. And with 1Kg of Ricotta wey to much. But like this I can tray straight a second time
good job chef!!! could you please make traditional maltese bread ... thanks !
Fantastic my friend very well done god bless you good bye
That was from Malta by the way
there is
on my channel
Hey thanks for the video!
Do you rest the dough in the fridge or on the bench each time? 😊
thank you
I used to get a cheese pastizzi in Astoria Queens...they were so good
Mmmmmmwa you are fantabulous honey! Your vibe/your cooking/your love! My family and i love it xxx
I lived in Malta a couple years ago and to this day, this is by far my favorite lokal snack out of all the places I traveled to/lived in!
The Ricotta version, I mean. I never understood the mushed pea pastizzi...
great video, I love these when I'm in Malta. I will now make them. Grazzi hafna
Hello
I have made your pastizzi and they are delicious. Can you tell me if i can freeze the pastry roll and thaw out later to form the pastizzi.
WOW they look amazing!!! however I have little faith in me making them LOL.
Hi, thanks for the tutorial. I’ve made them before with varying degrees of success. What is the approximate weight of each dough portion for a pastizz?
the best prosit marvin
Excellent video love this. Never knew how the dough is made. Can you use this dough for the maltese savoury pies?
My mother used to go down to the local pastizzi place, just to buy some pastizzi dough, and she would use it for making pie. 👍 awesome.
Here in Toronto, Canada we have a couple Pastizzi shops but the quality has gone down big time, they are hard not flaky and hardly any filling. Thank You Very Much for this video.
When I was in Malta I remember circle shape Pastizzi from many years ago. Can you show us how to make those as well.
Thank You
I live in Alberta ,a while back I bought them from Toronto ,they turned out to be garbage I’m trying to make them your way but I’m having a bit of a problem getting tho dough thin, any advise? thank you.
My partner is from Malta, she introduced me to Patizzi and it gave me an instant addiction.
Patizzi is practically impossible to find in England so I'm going to try to learn how to make it well and maybe set up a Saturday Market stall for it in Colchester
You can have it in cardiff at Mcsims
Prosit Marvin. Bravu tassew!
my sister-inlaw said to me if you come to china and cook maltese food and open a resturant you become a millionair
Great video, can I ask why the semolina? what does that bring to the pastizzi? is its flavour or texture? x
Im a Gauci too! 🇲🇹
Are these ok to freeze before cooking? Thanks
Grazzi ħafna ta dan il video! Dal Christmas ħa nagħmel il pastizzi biex In hosni f'malta pères li b'dal il Covid man-nies tax immur narah il familja. Grazzi ħafna!!
PS kief għamilt il salmolina? Grazzi!
Hi Marvin. Can you tell me how the dough needs to be kneeded? Is it ten minutes or less? Because my hands and arms are weak. Or can the machine knead it? If yes, how long and on what speed?
Like it
It usually is in packets not a tub.
I want to make a sweet filling inside. What do you recommend?
How do you prepare the semolina mixture for the ricotta?
Hi can I use split peas or does have to be whole peas for the filling
Thank you just like mum used to make
Grazzi Marvin.
this is amazing! I love pastizzi. Is it possible to replace margarine with other non-dairy oil? e.g. olive oil?
I’m wondering if I can replace the margarine with butter! Lol!
@@kerrycooper-dean4243 yes, you can use butter or lard.
