Preparation

For the pastello, combine flour and salt in a mixing bowl, then gradually add cold water until a homogeneous dough forms. Shape it into a rectangular block and refrigerate.
For the sfoglia, mix butter and flour well, then roll out the dough between two sheets of parchment paper into a rectangle 3 cm thick.
Roll out the pastello to the same thickness as the butter block, place the butter block in the center, and fold the two ends of the pastello over it to fully enclose it. Roll it out in the direction of the open sides to a thickness of 1.5 cm. Keeping the closed sides on the right and left, perform a three-fold, then after 1 hour, a four-fold. Repeat the cycle one more time.
Roll the dough to a thickness of 0.5 cm and cut out two discs to assemble the pie.
For the filling, finely grind the meat and pork jowl using a meat grinder. Season it in a bowl with salt, sugar, juniper, and pepper, then add 1 egg.
Clean the mushrooms, slice them thinly, and sauté them in a pan. Set aside to cool.
Sear the liver or heart and cook it with milk. Blend it into a pâté.
To assemble the pie, place one disc of sfoglia as the base, then layer the ground meat, mushroom slices, liver cream, and another layer of ground meat.
Close the pie with another disc of sfoglia, cutting a small hole in the center. Brush with egg yolk and bake at 180°C for 25–30’. Serve hot.
