Esfiha Aberta de Carne - Sfiha - Nina's Recipe


I got this recipe from Bibi my sister, but she got it from a friend called Nina, so I am calling it Nina's Recipe. I am writing in English to be able to share more broadly (but some PortuguesEnglish can be found)

Ingredients for 23 sfihas:
Dough
- 25 grams of fresh fleischmann yeast (hard to find in USA)
        From https://www.breadworld.com/education/faqs/
How do I substitute dry yeast for Fresh Active Yeast?
One 0.6-ounce cake is equivalent to 1 packet of dry yeast. One 2-ounce cake is equivalent to three packets of dry yeast. Follow the directions on the package recommended for the type of yeast you substitute.

- Salt - 1 teaspoon
- Sugar - 1 teaspoon
- Oil - 1 tablespoon
- Warm water - 250 g
- Flour - 500 g (+-)

Meat fillings
- Ground beef - 500g
- Lemon juice from 3 lemons
- Tomatoes x 3 cut in small cubes
- Onions x 3
- Salt (taste)
- Oil 1/2 cup

1) (I have modified this step removing salt to protect the yeast) pour the yeast, sugar and oil in the warm water
2) Mix flour, salt in a bow and add the water/sugar/yeast mixture
3) Mix everything until forming unified dough
4) let it rest for 10 minutes
5) Make small dough balls (size of a lemon) an put on a pan already (untada em manteiga)
6) Let it rest for 20 minutes
7) Open each of the dough balls by pressing your fingers over the balls without moving it away from the pan until it gets around 7cm diameter
8) Add the filling in the middle and it well into the dough
9) Let it rest for another 20 minutes
10) bake on hot oven
