Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g All-purpose flour
- 7 g Instant yeast
- 10 g Sugar
- 5 g Salt
- 300 ml Warm water
- 60 ml Olive oil
- 400 g Ground beef or lamb
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 30 g Tomato paste
- 50 g Pine nuts
- 10 g Sumac
- 5 g Allspice
- 3 g Ground cinnamon
- 30 ml Lemon juice
- 5 g Salt, for filling
- 5 g Black pepper, for filling
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt.
Add warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
While the dough is rising, prepare the filling. In a large skillet, heat a little olive oil over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent. Add the ground beef or lamb and cook until browned.
Stir in the tomato paste, pine nuts, sumac, allspice, ground cinnamon, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 5 minutes, then set aside to cool.
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball, then flatten into a disk about 10 cm in diameter.
Place a tablespoon of the meat filling in the center of each dough disk, spreading it slightly while leaving edges free to fold up slightly to form a border.
Arrange the filled dough on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden and crisp.
Allow to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
Enjoy your dairy-free Sfiha B Lahme warm, as an appetizer or a delicious snack!
