Tear the mushrooms into a
bowl, scatter over 7g of sea salt (most of this will drain
away later) and scrunch together, then leave for 30
minutes, scrunching occasionally. Tip the flour into a
bowl with a pinch of salt, then chop and rub in the
butter. Make a well in the middle, slowly pour in 100ml of
cold water, then mix, pat and bring it together. Wrap in
clingfilm and chill in the fridge for 1 hour.
-
After 30 minutes the mushrooms
should feel quite soggy, so squeeze firmly to remove as
much salty liquid as you can (the mushrooms should end up
weighing around 200g). Peel the swede, potatoes and onion
and slice into small pieces, roughly the same size and
thickness as a pound coin. Mix the veg with the mushrooms,
then add the rosemary and a few generous pinches of black
pepper.

Preheat the oven to
180°C/350°F/gas 4. Divide the pastry into 4, then roll out
into 20cm rounds on a clean flour-dusted surface. Divide
up the filling, then scrunch and pile it to one side of
the middle, leaving a 2.5cm gap around the edges. Lightly
brush the exposed pastry with beaten egg, fold over and
press the edges down, then twist and crimp with your
fingers and thumbs to seal. Eggwash, then place on a lined
baking sheet and bake for 40 minutes, or until golden.
