Steps

1

First, season the ground beef. Finely chop the onions, garlic, bell peppers, and parsley, then add them to the beef. Add the tomato paste, spices, and oil, and mix well. Let the mixture marinate in the refrigerator for a while.
2

Next, make the dough. Combine the flour, a pinch of salt, and yeast. Gradually add warm water as needed, depending on your flour, until a soft dough forms. Keep some warm water nearby and add as needed. Let the dough rise in a warm place for 30 minutes.
3

Once the dough has risen, divide it into balls about the size of a tangerine. Let them rest. Take the first ball that has rested, sprinkle some flour underneath and on your rolling pin, and roll it out. Place the rolled dough on a greased baking sheet, then add the meat mixture and spread it evenly.

Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) until the bottom is cooked through. Remove from the oven and enjoy!
