Ingredients

• All-purpose flour - 250 grams
• Warm water - 150 ml
• Active dry yeast - 5 grams
• Salt - 5 grams
• Olive oil - 15 ml
• Red bell pepper - 1, diced
• Zucchini - 1 small, diced
• Red onion - 1 small, diced
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Cumin powder - 1 teaspoon
• Paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Chickpeas - 100 grams, cooked
• Feta cheese - 50 grams, crumbled
• Fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped

Steps

1. In a bowl, combine warm water and yeast. Let it sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the yeast mixture and olive oil.
3. Mix until a dough forms, then knead on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 30 minutes.
4. While the dough is rising, heat a pan over medium heat and sauté garlic and red onion in olive oil until translucent.
5. Add diced red bell pepper and zucchini, and cook for another 5-7 minutes until softened. Stir in cumin, paprika, and chickpeas, cooking for an additional 2 minutes.
6. Remove from heat and let the filling cool slightly. Stir in crumbled feta and chopped parsley.
7. Preheat the oven to 220°C (428°F).
8. Once the dough has risen, divide it into two equal portions. Roll each portion into a circle about 0.5 cm thick.
9. Place half of the vegetable filling on one half of each dough circle, leaving a border. Fold the other half over to create a semi-circle and press the edges to seal.
10. Transfer the stuffed khobz to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
11. Remove from the oven, let cool for a few minutes, then slice and serve warm.
