Ingredients
500g wheat flour
1 tablespoon of dry yeast
1 tablespoon of sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup of warm water
1/4 cup oil
300g ground meat (can be beef, chicken or lamb)
1 small onion, chopped
2 chopped tomatoes
1 chopped green pepper
1/2 bunch of chopped parsley
Salt and pepper to taste
Juice of 1 lemon
Directions
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, yeast, sugar, and salt. Make a well in the middle and add the warm water and oil. Mix until a smooth dough forms.
- Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes, until smooth and elastic. Cover with a damp cloth and let rest for 30 minutes.
- In a frying pan, sauté the onion until golden brown. Add the ground beef and cook until completely cooked.
- Add the tomatoes, bell pepper, parsley, salt, pepper and lemon juice. Cook for a few more minutes, stirring well, until the ingredients are well mixed. Set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 200°C.
- Divide the dough into small portions and roll each one out with a rolling pin, forming thin disks of dough.
- Place a portion of the filling in the center of each dough disk, leaving the edges free.
- Fold the edges of the dough inwards, leaving the center of the filling exposed.
- Transfer the esfihas to a greased baking sheet or one lined with parchment paper.
- Place in the preheated oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the filling is cooked through.
- Remove from the oven and serve hot.
