Stuffed Flatbreads (Punjene Lepinice)

Craving something savory and comforting for breakfast or a snack? These stuffed flatbreads are perfect! With a crispy exterior and a flavorful meat filling, they’re sure to please everyone in your household (just like they did for mine – the kids couldn't stop eating them!). Here’s how to make them!



Ingredients:

For the Dough:

  • 500g all-purpose flour
  • 300ml warm water
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon dry yeast (or a small piece of fresh yeast)

For the Filling:

  • 500g ground meat (beef, lamb, or a mix)
  • 1/2 onion, finely chopped
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Butter and oil mixture, for greasing and brushing

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Dough:

In a bowl, combine the flour, salt, sugar, and dry yeast. Gradually add the warm water, mixing until a dough forms. Knead until smooth and elastic. Cover the dough with a clean kitchen towel and let it rest for 15 minutes to rise.

2. Make the Filling:

While the dough rests, heat a little oil in a pan and sauté the chopped onion until soft and translucent. Add the ground meat, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned. Remove from heat and let it cool.

3. Shape the Flatbreads:

Once the dough has rested, divide it into 10 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and flatten it into a disc. Brush each disc with a mixture of melted butter and oil, then sprinkle with the meat filling.

4. Roll and Shape:

Fold the edges over the filling like a rolled-up scroll, and pinch the ends to seal. Roll each one into a spiral shape (like a rose). Repeat with all the dough pieces.

5. Cook the Flatbreads:

Heat a pan over medium heat and cook the stuffed flatbreads one by one. Place each rolled-up dough in the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Make sure to press gently to help them cook evenly.

6. Finish and Serve:

Once the flatbreads are cooked, brush them with a little more melted butter for that extra richness. Serve warm.


Pro Tips:

  • Filling Options: You can experiment with the filling! Try adding cheese, herbs, or sautéed vegetables for a different flavor.
  • Make Ahead: You can prepare the filling and dough the night before and store them separately in the fridge for quicker assembly the next day.
  • Cooking Temperature: Keep the pan at a medium heat to avoid burning the flatbreads while they cook through.
