Description
Soft homemade pita bread filled with a savory spiced meat mixture, cooked until golden and finished with fresh herbs for a warm and satisfying meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup warm water
- 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 250 grams ground beef
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Warm a skillet over medium heat so it is ready when needed.
- In a bowl, mix warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let it sit for 5 minutes, then add flour, salt, and olive oil to form a soft dough.
- Lightly oil the bowl and let the dough rest for about 1 hour until it doubles in size.
- Cook the ground beef with onion and garlic until browned, then add paprika, cumin, black pepper, and salt and cook for a few more minutes.
- Divide the dough into portions, roll each one out, and fill with the meat mixture.
- Place the filled dough onto the skillet and cook each side for 3 to 4 minutes until golden and slightly crispy.
- Sprinkle chopped parsley on top and serve warm.
Notes
- Let the dough rise fully for the best texture.
- Do not overfill the pita to prevent tearing.
- Cook on medium heat to avoid burning the outside before the inside is done.
- Allow the filling to cool slightly before assembling.
