Thin sheets of dough are filled with spiced ground beef, folded into triangles, and pan-cooked to make this spicy pocket pastry served at Black Sea breakfast tables. Because it is cooked with little oil, it is presented as a low-calorie breakfast dish.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Knead the Dough

10 min

Knead the flour with lukewarm water until you have a smooth dough.

2

Let the Dough Rest

15 min

Cover the dough and let it rest for 15 minutes.

3

Prepare the Filling

10 min

Mix the ground beef with the diced onion, Turkish red pepper flakes, and salt.

4

Shape the Pockets

15 min

Roll the dough into thin sheets and cut them into triangles. Place some of the ground beef filling on each triangle and pinch the dough closed.

5

Cook the Pockets

10 min

Cook the pockets in a lightly oiled skillet for 10 minutes total, turning them until both sides are golden brown.

Reminder

Let the dough rest before rolling it out; otherwise, the thin dough sheets may tear easily. Contains wheat (gluten).
