3. Making the Dough
Creating the perfect dough is the foundation of any great pastry. Follow these simple steps:
Beat and Mix: Crack the egg into a kneading bowl, beat until blended, then add water and salt.
Add Flour: Gradually add flour until you achieve a soft, non-sticky dough.
Knead and Rest: Knead the dough for 5-6 minutes, then divide into four parts and shape into meringue-like rounds.
Chill: Cover and let the dough rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
4. Crafting the Filling

Cook Minced Meat: In a pan, cook minced meat until browned, then add chopped onions and spices.
Flavor to Perfection: Season with salt, black pepper, and chili pepper according to taste.
Let it Cool: Remove from heat and allow the filling to cool before using.
