Ingredients

Method

  1. In a bowl, mix flour, salt, and baking powder. Add warm water and knead into a smooth dough. Let it rest for 30 minutes.
  2. In a pan, heat olive oil and sauté onions until translucent. Add minced meat and cook until browned.
  3. Stir in tomatoes, bell pepper, and spices. Cook for 10 minutes until the mixture thickens.
  4. Divide the dough into small balls, flatten into thin rounds, and place on a baking sheet.
  5. Top each with the meat mixture and fresh herbs. Bake at 220°C (425°F) for 12-15 minutes until the edges are golden.
  6. Check that the ground meat reaches 71°C (160°F) throughout before serving.
