Directions for the dough

In a small cup of warm water, melt the yeast and the sugar with 2 tsp of flour. Cover and leave aside for 10 mins

In a deep large bowl add the flour and yoghurt. Pour the yeast mixture, and mix well until all has been distributed.

Add the water to the dough as needed and mix well until the dough starts to come together.
Add the oil and mix again

Turn the dough out, onto a kitchen bench and knead until a soft and supple dough forms, within 3-5 minutes.

Cover the dough with a damp tea towel or plastic wrap and let it rest for 1 hour.

Directions for the filling

in a bowl, mix the meat, onion,tomato,chilli seasoning, and the spices, black pepper and salt, mixing well together

Last step (baking the Sfeeha)

Divide the dough, into two equal portions. With a rolling pin, begin to roll the dough flat.

Heat a non-stick pan. Place the filling on top of the flattened dough. Then place on the pan, until the dough becomes golden in colour

Remove the dough and place on a tray. Place the tray in the oven, to cook the top

Repeat the steps until all dough has been used up
