Tripoli-Style Lahm Bi'Ajin (Meat Flatbreads)

Ingredients

• 1/2 kg ground beef
• 1/2 kg finely chopped onion
• 1 cup tahini
• 1/4 cup pomegranate molasses
• 2 tablespoons white vinegar
• Salt to taste
• Pinch of seven-spice
• Pine nuts to taste

Method

1. Mix all ingredients well. First combine the dry ingredients, then add the oil and water. Add water as needed for the dough.
2. The longer you knead, the better the result.
3. Let the dough rest for about an hour since it’s yeast-free, until it roughly doubles in size...
4. Roll the dough into small balls and leave them overnight, submerged in oil...
5. The next day, roll out each dough ball and shape into a square by folding; place the filling on half and press gently...
6. To shape lahm bi'ajin into a circle, roll the dough very thin, then roll around to form a cylinder, roll again and place the meat filling and press to expand.
7. Bake the lahm bi'ajin in a preheated oven until the pieces are cooked and browned, about 12 minutes.
