Steps

1

In a bowl, mix a little warm water with 1 teaspoon instant dry yeast and 1 teaspoon sugar. Let it dissolve slightly, then add 1 teaspoon oil and 1 tablespoon yogurt. Mix, then add the flour. Gradually add a little more warm water until you get a soft, cohesive dough that is not sticky or hard.
2

Let the dough rise. Once it has risen, knead it and shape it into small circles.
3

For the filling, sauté the onion until soft, then add the tomato and garlic. Mix until the ingredients are combined.
4

Add the ground beef, a little black pepper, red pepper paste, and finely chopped parsley. Cook together, then use this mixture to fill the dough circles or small rounds. Cook them in a lightly oiled skillet on the bottom, then transfer to the oven to finish baking on top. This will give them a nice color and bubbles.
5

Garnish with olives and serve with tabbouleh salad.
