Meat Fatayer

Instructions

1. 1

   In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, and yeast. Mix well.

2. 2

   Gradually add the water and olive oil to the dry ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.

3. 3

   Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.

4. 4

   Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

5. 5

   While the dough is rising, prepare the filling. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned.

6. 6

   Add the pine nuts and allspice to the beef, stirring well. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool.

7. 7

   Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

8. 8

   Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into small balls, about the size of a golf ball.

9. 9

   Roll each ball into a small circle on a floured surface.

10. 10

    Place a spoonful of the meat filling in the center of each circle.

11. 11

    Fold the dough over the filling to form a triangle, pinching the edges to seal.

12. 12

    Place the fatayer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

13. 13

    Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.

14. 14

    Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
