🫓 Dough

• 300 g all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp sugar
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 180 ml warm water

🥩 Filling

• 300 g ground beef
• 1 small onion (finely chopped)
• 2 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1/2 tsp cumin
• Salt & black pepper
• 100–150 g shredded cheese (mozzarella or cheddar)

🥣 Yogurt Sauce

• 150 g Greek yogurt

• Salt + chopped herbs

🔥 Instructions

1. Make the dough

• Mix flour + salt + sugar
• Add oil + warm water

• Rest 30 minutes

👉 Resting = soft, stretchy dough

2. Cook the beef

• Sauté onion + garlic
• Add beef → cook until browned
• Season with paprika, cumin, salt, pepper
• Let cool slightly

3. Assemble

• Divide dough into 4 balls
• Roll thin circles
• Add beef + cheese on one side
• Fold and seal edges

👉 Press edges tight or cheese will escape

4. Cook

• Heat pan (medium heat)
• Cook each side 3–4 minutes
• Brush lightly with butter or oil

👉 Goal: golden, crispy outside

5. Serve

• Slice open
• Add yogurt sauce
• Sprinkle herbs

💥 Pro Tips

• Roll dough thin but not tearing
• Don’t overload filling → easier to seal
• Use medium heat (avoid burning before cheese melts)
• Let it rest 2 mins before cutting → cheese settles

⚡ Texture Check
