Knead a soft dough with flour, water, and salt.
Rest the dough for 20 minutes so it does not tear while rolling.
Prepare the filling by mixing the curd cheese, chopped pepper, and spice.
Roll out the dough, add the filling, and close it into a half-moon shape.
Bake the sembuseks in a 200°C oven for 18 minutes.
Rest for 5 minutes after removing from the oven and serve hot.
💡 Tip: Keeping the filling dry helps the edges of the sembusek seal well.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve hot with lemon wedges and parsley on the side.
