Instructions
 

  • Bring a large bowl to make the dough. Add both the white and whole wheat flours with the salt and baking powder. Mix well then add the olive oil and egg, then knead the dough by hand.
  • In a bowl put the yeast and add warm water and sugar, stir to dissolve the yeast and let stand for 5 minutes. This can be done before starting the dough. Then add the yeast to the dough mixture and continue kneading. While kneading add the milk and continue kneading for 15 minutes u the dough holds together and not very soft. Cover with plastic wrap and keep the dough in a warm place for 2 hours so the yeast is active, and the dough is easy to shape.

  • Mix the yogurt, lemon juice and tahini in a new bowl and add 2 spoons of water and mix well. Add to the meat mixture and mix well.
  • Pre-heat the oven to 356 C
  • Knead the dough again and cut into 6 balls, then leave them to rest for half an hour. Sprinkle some flour on a flat surface and roll the dough using the rolling pin and cut into circles.

  • Put the baking sheet with the filled dough in the pre-heated oven and bake for 30 minutes. Broil until brow for about 2 minutes.
