Knead the warm water, yeast, yogurt, flour, and half the salt into a soft dough.
Let the dough rise in a covered bowl for 45 minutes.
Chop the beef very small and mix it with the onions, garlic, coriander seeds, cumin, black pepper, and remaining salt.
Divide the dough into 3 balls, roll each one out fairly thick, and place the meat filling in the center.
Close the dough like a bundle, turn the seam side down, and flatten it by hand to 2 cm thick.
Bake the kubdari in a 210°C oven for 26 to 28 minutes, until the top and bottom are browned.
Brush the hot breads with butter, rest for 5 minutes, and slice.
💡 Tip: When adding the raw filling, do not leave the meat pieces too large; finely chopped meat stays safe and juicy inside while the bread bakes.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Slice kubdari hot and share it like a closed pide with ayran and optional pickles.
