Ingredients

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 200°C (390°F).
  2. In a bowl, mix flour, salt, and pepper. Add olive oil and mix until a dough forms. Knead for 10 minutes, then let rest for 30 minutes.
  3. In a pan, cook the onion and garlic until soft. Add ground pork, salt, pepper, and paprika. Cook until meat is browned.
  4. Divide dough into 12 equal parts. Roll each into a round shape, fill with meat mixture, and fold into a half-moon shape.
  5. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
  6. Check that the ground meat reaches 71°C (160°F) throughout before serving.
