Make the dough with flour, salt, yeast and water and leave it to rise in a warm place  until it double the size.

Prepare the filling while the dough rises. Brown the mince and sauté the onions until soft and translucent.

Add salt, freshly ground black pepper and flaked chilli, remove from the heat and then let it cool down.

Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces (approx 160 grams each) and then place them on a lightly floured surface.

Roll out one of the dough balls into a long oval shape of 15 cm x 40 cm (about 6”x15.”) in size and ½ cm (0.2”) in thickness.

Spread a quarter of the cooked mince filling evenly over the dough, making sure to leave a 1 ½ centimetres border at the edges.

Fold the two edges of the dough over the filling so that is completely covered, and gently pinch the dough to seal.

Bake them in the 220° C preheated oven for 15 minutes or until the pastry is lightly browned. Click on 👇 "learn more" for the full recipe.
