Instructions

1. 1

   In a large bowl, mix the flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt.

2. 2

   Gradually add the warm water and olive oil, mixing until combined.

3. 3

   Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth. Let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, covered with a cloth.

4. 4

   While the dough is rising, heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.

5. 5

   Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula.

6. 6

   Stir in the diced tomato, paprika, cumin, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 5 minutes until the tomato softens. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

7. 7

   Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C).

8. 8

   Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 4 equal pieces. Roll each piece into an oval shape, about ½ inch thick.

9. 9

   Place the oval dough on a baking sheet. Spoon the beef mixture along the center of each oval, leaving space around the edges for the crust.

10. 10

    Fold the edges of the dough over the filling, pinching to seal. Brush the tops with beaten egg.

11. 11

    Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.

12. 12

    Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
