Ingredient<\/h4>

For the dough:<\/strong><\/p>

  • 2 teaspoon active dried yeast<\/li>
  • 1 teaspoon sugar<\/li>
  • 300 ml lukewarm water<\/li>
  • 700 gr strong white bread flour<\/li>
  • 1 teaspoon salt<\/li>
  • 2 teaspoon olive oil<\/li> <\/ul>

    For the topping:<\/strong><\/p>

    • 1 tablespoon olive oil<\/li>
    • 1 medium onion<\/li>
    • 1 green pepper<\/li>
    • 1 red pepper<\/li>
    • 2 medium tomatoes<\/li>
    • 1 bunch of flat leaf parsley, finely chopped<\/li>
    • 500 gr minced beef or minced beef with minced lamb<\/li>
    • 1 tablespoon tomato paste<\/li>
    • 1 teaspoon paprika flakes<\/li>
    • 1\/2 teaspoon tsimeni<\/li>
    • \u00bd teaspoon cumin<\/li>
    • 2 teaspoon salt<\/li>
    • Juice of 1 lemon<\/li> <\/ul> <\/div> <\/div>

      Execution<\/h4>

      For the dough:<\/strong><\/p>

      1. Place the sugar and the yeast in a small bowl with half the lukewarm water.Set aside for about 15 minutes until frothy.<\/li>
      2. Sift the flour and salt into a large bowl, make a well in the middle and add the creamed yeast and the rest of the lukewarm water.<\/li>
      3. Using your hand, draw in the flour and work with the mixture to dough, adding more water if necessary.<\/li>
      4. Turn the dough on to a lightly floured surface and knead until it is smooth and elastic. Drip a few drops of olive oil into the base of the bowl and roll the dough in it. This will help the dough not to dry up.<\/li>
      5. Cover the bowl with a damp kitchen towel and leave in a warm place for about 1 hour or until the dough has doubled in size<\/li> <\/ol>

        For the topping:<\/strong><\/p>

        1. Add the onion, peppers and tomatoes (without their juices) to the food processor and mash. Remove and strain well in a strainer or towel.<\/li>
        2. Put the minced meat in a bowl and add the tomato paste, parsley, spices and the ingredients from the food processor.<\/li>
        3. Season with salt and pepper and work this mixture into a paste with your hands. Cover and keep in the refrigerator until you are ready to use.<\/li>
        4. Once the dough doubled in size, punch down the risen dough, knead it on a lightly floured surface and divide into 6 pieces. Roll each piece into a thin flat round, stretching the dough with your hands as you roll.<\/li>
        5. Oil the baking sheets and place the dough rounds on them and spread a thin layer of the meat mixture covering the edges too.<\/li>
        6. Bake in the oven for about 15 minutes, until the meat is nicely cooked at 200 C.<\/li> <\/ol> <\/div> <\/div> ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
