👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. To make the dough, dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water; let sit for 5 minutes until foamy. In a large bowl, combine flour and salt, then add the yeast mixture and olive oil.
2. Knead the dough for 7-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place it in a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
3. For the filling, finely chop the onion and tomato. In a large bowl, combine ground beef, chopped onion, tomato, fresh mint, parsley, lemon juice, tahini, allspice, cinnamon, black pepper, and salt. Mix well until everything is evenly combined.
4. Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F). Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a thin circle (about 15 cm or 6 inches in diameter).
5. Spread a generous amount of the meat filling evenly over each dough circle, leaving a small border around the edges. Place the sfiha on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
6. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the meat is cooked through. Serve warm with extra lemon wedges if desired.
