Put the flour in a bowl and open a small hole in the center. Put the milk, melted butter, an egg, salt and sugar in this hole. Mix all these sweet pastry dough ingredients until smooth.

Tip: If you prefer, you can also prepare this dough in an electric mixer.

Knead for 20 minutes or until the dough is smooth, smooth and compact. Then open it on a floured bench, with the help of a roller, until it is 2-3 mm thick.

Tip: If the dough continues to stick to your hand after kneading for the indicated time, sprinkle a little flour and knead again.

Turn the oven on at 180ºC. Cut the dough into discs using a pastry cutter, round cup, or similar utensil.

Place a little mozzarella and guava cheese on each dough disk - don't overdo the amount so that the stuffing doesn't spill into the oven.

Close the pastries as you like (by hand or with a fork), beat the remaining egg and brush the pastries with it. Place the pastries on an oven tray and bake at 180ºC for 25 minutes or until golden.
