Tips for preparing Goiás casserole

• It is very important to prepare the filling before making the dough, taking a break to let it cool.. This is because, when filling the pie, the filling needs to be cold.
• A tip when making the dough is to mix it first with a fork and only knead it at the end. The ideal is not to knead too much so as not to make the dough hard.
• Baking time varies depending on the oven, but it takes an average of 30 minutes to bake well.
• In fact, if you want to make the recipe healthier, you can replace the oil with olive oil and the wheat flour with wholemeal flour.
• Here we made the Goiás casserole in the large pan, but if you want, you can make mini pies using small molds.
