Lebanese Sfiha

Gradually add the warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients, mixing until a shaggy dough forms.
Aproximativ 3 min.
- 3
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
Aproximativ 10 min.
- 4
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Aproximativ 1 oră
Nota bucătarului: A slightly warm oven (turned off) can help the dough rise faster.

While the dough is rising, prepare the filling: In a separate bowl, combine the ground beef, chopped onion, diced tomatoes, pomegranate molasses, lemon juice, allspice, cinnamon, black pepper, and salt.
Aproximativ 10 min.
Nota bucătarului: Ensure the vegetables are finely chopped for a better texture in the filling.

Mix the filling ingredients thoroughly with your hands until well combined.
Aproximativ 3 min.
- 7
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Aproximativ 15 min.

On a lightly floured surface, roll out each dough ball into a thin circle, about 10-12 cm (4-5 inches) in diameter.
Aproximativ 5 min.
Nota bucătarului: Aim for a thickness similar to a thin pizza crust.

Sprinkle a few pine nuts over the meat filling on each sfiha.
