Hey everyone! I’m making empanadas for the first time and I’m curious – is empanada dough the same as pastry dough? Are there any big differences I should know about? Thanks for the help!

Hey there! Empanada dough is kinda similar to pastry dough, but it's usually a bit sturdier to hold fillings better. Both are flaky and delish though! Thanks for the heads up!

Empanada dough is a bit different from pastry dough – it's usually a bit sturdier to hold all that delicious filling! Think more about a dough that's easy to fold and fill without getting too flaky like regular pastry. Thanks for the heads-up!

Empanada dough is similar but typically simpler and less flaky than pastry dough; it's designed to hold up well during frying or baking.
