With the help of the same rolling pin we wrap it to avoid it gets broken at the time of moving and we put it in the mold.
We spear with a fork the entire surface and then we add the guava jam.
With the ball of the other pastry, in the same way we stretch it with a rolling pin and cut it into large strips to put it in the mold on the filling.
We press the edges with the fingers to mix both parts and give form to the pie.
We spread with a paintbrush a beaten egg in the surface to get a brown appearance.
We take it to the preheat oven and bake it to 350 F or 180 C untill the pie gets brown. The time depends on the type of oven.
