Ingredients:
For the dough:
1-3 cups all-purpose flour
2-1 teaspoon salt
3-1 cup warm water
4-2 tablespoons vegetable oil
For the filling:
1-1 pound ground beef or lamb
2-1 onion, finely chopped
3-2 cloves garlic, minced
4-1 teaspoon ground cumin
5-1 teaspoon ground coriander
6-1 teaspoon paprika
7-Salt and pepper, to taste
For brushing:
2 tablespoons melted butter
Instructions:
*In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt for the dough. Gradually add warm water and mix until a soft dough forms.
*Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
*Divide the dough into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a ball. Cover the dough balls with a damp cloth and let them rest for 30 minutes.
*In a separate bowl, combine the ground meat, chopped onion, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well to incorporate all the ingredients.
*Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
*Take one dough ball and roll it out into a thin circle, approximately 8-10 inches in diameter.
*Place about a quarter of the meat filling on one half of the dough circle, leaving a small border around the edges.
*Fold the other half of the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape. Press the edges firmly to seal.
*Repeat the process with the remaining dough balls and filling.
*Transfer the chapshurro to the prepared baking sheet and brush the tops with melted butter.
*Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
*Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
*Cut the chapshurro into slices and serve it with yogurt or a side salad.
Chapshurro is a delightful and filling dish that can be enjoyed as a main course or as a snack. Its flaky pastry and flavorful meat filling make it a favorite in Uzbek cuisine.
