Instructions
-
In a large bowl, combine flour, grated cheese, powdered milk, thyme, and salt.
-
Dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water. Add it to the dry ingredients and mix well.
-
Gradually add warm water while kneading until a soft dough forms.
-
Knead the dough thoroughly, then shape it into a ball and coat it with oil. Cover and let it rest for 30 minutes.
-
Prepare the filling by mixing sausage, pastrami, grated cheese, chili, bell pepper, tomato, onion, and black olives if desired. Season with salt, black pepper, and cumin.
-
Once the dough has risen, divide it into small equal-sized balls.
-
Flatten each ball with your hands first, then roll it out with a rolling pin.
-
Place a portion of the filling in the center of each dough piece and seal securely.
-
For a professional finish, fold the dough edges to resemble a traditional pastry. Alternatively, press with a fork to secure the edges.
-
Arrange the stuffed dough on a baking tray, sprinkle water on top, and garnish with sesame seeds or black seeds.
-
Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C for 20–25 minutes or until golden brown.
