Knead the flour, water and salt into a medium-firm dough.
Rest the dough for 20 minutes so the small rounds do not tear while rolling.
Mix the ground beef, grated onion, salt and black pepper for the filling.
Roll the dough portions into small rounds and place the filling in the center.
Fold the edges up like a bundle, leaving a small opening at the top.
Bake the pastries in a 200°C oven for 18 minutes, until browned.
💡 Tip: Leaving a small opening on top as you close the dough preserves the pastry's characteristic look.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve hot with frothy ayran.
