Ingredients

• All-purpose flour - 250 grams
• Warm water - 150 ml
• Active dry yeast - 7 grams
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Mixed bell peppers (diced) - 100 grams
• Onion (finely chopped) - 50 grams
• Tomato (diced) - 50 grams
• Fresh parsley (chopped) - 30 grams
• Ground cumin - 1 teaspoon
• Paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Lemon juice - 1 tablespoon

Steps

1. In a small bowl, mix warm water and yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
2. In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the yeast mixture and olive oil.
3. Knead the dough until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes. Cover and let it rise in a warm place for 30 minutes.
4. Meanwhile, in a skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add onions and sauté until translucent.
5. Add diced bell peppers and tomato to the skillet, cooking for another 5 minutes. Stir in parsley, cumin, paprika, black pepper, and lemon juice, and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
6. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
7. Once the dough has risen, divide it into 6 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a small circle (about 10 cm in diameter).
8. Place a spoonful of the vegetable filling in the center of each circle. Fold the edges up and pinch to seal.
9. Place the sfiha on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
10. Serve warm and enjoy your delicious vegan sfiha!
