Method
Preparation
- Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the yeast and warm water. Stir gently until the yeast dissolves.
- Add the salt to the mixture and stir to combine.
- Gradually add the flour, one cup at a time, mixing well after each addition until a soft, elastic dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until it becomes smooth and pliable.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
- Prepare the Filling: Heat the oil or olive oil in a large pan over medium heat.
- Add the finely chopped onions and sauté until they become translucent and golden brown.
- Stir in the chili pepper, black pepper, red pepper, and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the spices.
- Remove the filling from the heat and let it cool slightly.
- Assemble the Dish: Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release any air bubbles.
- Divide the dough into equal portions, depending on how large you want your pieces to be.
- Roll each portion of dough into a thin circle on a floured surface.
- Spread a generous amount of the softened butter over each circle of dough.
- Spoon the onion filling evenly over the dough, spreading it out to cover the surface.
- Fold the dough over the filling, sealing the edges to enclose the filling completely.
- Place the filled dough pieces on a greased baking sheet, cover, and let them rest for about 15-20 minutes.
- Bake the Dish: Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F).
- Once the oven is heated, bake the filled dough pieces for 20-25 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
- Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
