To prepare this Open Meat Esfirra, use the ingredients suggested below and follow the instructions in the preparation method.

Ingredients

  • 500g wheat flour

  • 1 teaspoon of salt

  • 1 teaspoon active dry yeast

  • 1 tablespoon of sugar

  • 1 cup of warm water

  • 3 tablespoons of oil

  • 500g minced meat (can be beef, lamb or a mixture)

  • 1 medium chopped onion

  • 2 minced garlic cloves

  • 2 tablespoons of lemon juice

  • 1 teaspoon cumin powder

  • 1 teaspoon chili pepper (optional)

  • Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, dry yeast and sugar. 
    Make a well in the center of the mixture and add the warm water and oil. 
    Mix well until you get a homogeneous mass.
  • On a floured surface, knead the dough for about 10 minutes, or until smooth and elastic. 
    Place the dough back in the bowl, cover with a clean tea towel and let it rest in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
  • While the dough is resting, prepare the filling. 
    In a frying pan, heat a little oil and sauté the onion and garlic until soft and lightly golden. 
    Add ground beef and cook until fully cooked.
  • Season with the lemon juice, ground cumin, allspice (if using), salt and pepper to taste. 
    Mix well and book.
  • Preheat the oven to 200°C.
  • Divide the dough into smaller portions and roll them into thin circles. 
    Place the dough disks on a greased baking sheet.
  • Place a portion of the meat filling in the center of each dough disc and spread evenly, leaving a border around it.
  • Take the esfihas to the preheated oven and bake for about 15 to 20 minutes, or until the dough is golden.
  • Remove the esfihas from the oven and serve hot.
