Instructions

  1. In a bowl, dissolve the yeast and sugar in the lukewarm milk, then let it rest 5 minutes until the surface foams.
  2. Mix the flour and salt, add the egg, the risen milk and the softened butter, then knead for about 8 minutes until you have a smooth, elastic dough.
  3. Cover and let rise for 1 hour in a warm place, until the dough has doubled in volume.
  4. Sauté the chopped onion in the oil, add the meat and brown it while crumbling, about 8 minutes, then season and let cool.
  5. Divide the dough into 8 balls, flatten each into a disc, place a spoonful of filling in the center and close by pinching the edges.
  6. Arrange the muvi, seam side down, on a tray lined with parchment paper and let them rise for 20 minutes.
  7. Brush with beaten egg yolk and bake at 190 °C for 20 to 25 minutes, until well golden.
  8. Let cool for a few minutes on a rack before serving, optionally with a little crème fraîche.

Variations and tips

Vegetarian version. Replace the meat with potatoes and mushrooms sautéed with the onion.

Using what's available here. The ground cumin can be replaced with sweet paprika for a milder taste.
