Ingredients
Method
- In a large bowl, mix flour and salt. Gradually add warm water and knead until a smooth dough forms. Let it rest for 30 minutes.
- In a pan, cook the ground beef until browned. Add chopped onion, grated carrot, paprika, and garlic powder. Cook until the mixture is tender and well combined.
- Roll out the dough into a thin sheet. Cut into squares, place a spoonful of the meat mixture in the center, fold into a triangle, and seal the edges.
- Brush the top with beaten egg. Bake at 200°C (390°F) for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
- Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy with a dollop of sour cream or ketchup if desired.
- Check that the ground meat reaches 71°C (160°F) throughout before serving.
