I looked up a recipe for my husband's beloved "fatai" (my husband calls it "fatai," but it's really called "fataya") and came up with my own version using more meat.

The dough is a bit firm, but if you let it rest for a bit, it will be easier to roll out.
When wrapping it up, don't completely close the top, but leave a gap so that it opens a bit while baking. Recipe by TBites

Roll out Step 1 into round discs, then top with 1.5 tablespoon of the filling from Step 2. Shape the filling into a triangle.
5

Fold up the sides to create a triangle. Leave the center open. Transfer to a baking sheet.
