Instructions
- Mix the flour, salt and lukewarm water until you have a soft dough. Knead for 10 minutes, cover and rest for 30 minutes.
- Mix the minced meat with the finely sliced onions and garlic, the chopped coriander and the spices. Season and set aside.
- Roll the dough into a large disc about 3 mm thick, and place the filling in the centre, leaving a 3 cm border.
- Fold the edges into the centre to form a parcel, then gently flatten it by hand and roll it out to spread the filling into a 1 cm thick cake.
- Place the kubdari on a baking sheet lined with baking paper, make a few small cuts, and brush with beaten egg yolk.
- Bake at 200 °C for 30 to 35 minutes, until the crust is well browned. Butter the top as it comes out of the oven and serve hot, cut into wedges.
Variations and tips
Vegetarian version. Replace the meat with a mix of sliced mushrooms and caramelised onions, using the same seasoning.
