Preparation:

Sift ⅓ cup of flour. Mix the dry ingredients: flour, salt, and yeast. Then make a well in the dry ingredients and start pouring in warm water in a thin stream, kneading the mixture for 5 minutes, adding the remaining flour as needed until a smooth, soft, and elastic dough forms. Let it rise for 2-3 hours.

Blend the tomatoes, onion, and herbs. Mix all the ingredients with the meat and harissa, seasoning to form a uniform, slightly runny mixture. Then shape the dough into small balls (8-12, depending on size), which are then rolled out thinly and topped with the meat.

Bake in a preheated oven at 240 degrees for 10-12 minutes, until the dough has golden edges and the meat is cooked through. Serve warm, generously drizzled with lemon juice. Ayran can be served as a drink.

We wish you a delicious meal, as it will undoubtedly be.
