Fatayer (stuffed bread)
Delicious and tasty pies from the Middle East. They are typically filled with meat, but they can also be filled with cheese.
Ingredients
Dough
- 25 gram Yeast
- 450 gram Flour
- 38 gram Sugar
- 28 gram Oil
- 6 gram Salt
- 250 gram Water
Suggested filling (meat)
- 300 gram Beef
- 2 pcs. Onion large
- 2 pcs. Tomato or a handful of cherry tomatoes
- 7 spices
Suggested filling (cheese with zaatar)
- Grated cheese mozzarella
- Feta
- Zaatar
- Oil
Instructions
Dough:
- Dissolve the yeast in a little water, then add the rest of the water.
- Then add flour, sugar, oil, and salt (in this order).
- Knead the dough, and let it rise for an hour.
Fill with meat
- Onion and tomato with spices are placed in a food processor and blended finely (chop the vegetables thoroughly if you don't have a food processor).
- Then add the meat, along with more spices, and blend again.
Fill with cheese
- Za'atar and oil are mixed together, and the mixture is spread on a small portion of dough that has been rolled into a small round circle.
- Then add the two cheese mixtures on top, and close the dough.
- The same is done with the meat, where only the meat is added and then the dough is closed.
- Finally, brush them with egg.
- Give them 10-15 minutes at 200 degrees Celsius (392 degrees Fahrenheit) on convection.
