Cooking Time: 20-25 minutesPreperation Time: Up to 1 hour

Prepare the Dough

Begin by preparing your bread dough. You can either make it from scratch using your favorite recipe or use a pre-made dough. Roll out the dough into a round or oval shape, depending on your preference.

Prepare the Filling

Cook the ground meat in a pan until browned. Add chopped onions and cook until they’re soft. Season with salt, pepper, and your choice of herbs like parsley or dill. Let the mixture cool.

Assemble

Spread the meat mixture evenly over one half of the dough, leaving a small border around the edge. Sprinkle generously with cheese, either feta or mozzarella. Fold the other half of the dough over the filling, and crimp the edges to seal.

Add Toppings

Prepare a tomato topping by blending tomatoes with chili peppers (optional) to get a tangy sauce. Spread this sauce over the top of the bread or serve it alongside.

Bake

Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese inside has melted. Let it cool slightly before serving.
