- Knead the dough for about 10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic, working it well.
- Chop 1 onion and mince 2 garlic cloves, setting these aside for the filling.
- In a pan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat and sauté the chopped onion, about 3 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant and softened.
- Stir in 400 g of ground beef, 2 bay leaves, 1 teaspoon of paprika, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of black pepper; cook until browned, about 8 to 10 minutes.
- Roll the kneaded dough out to about 0.5 cm thick on a floured surface.
- Cut into circles about 10 cm in diameter and place about 2 tablespoons of the meat mixture in the center of each.
