Mix the yeast, warm water, and sugar, then let it foam for 10 minutes.
Knead the flour, yogurt, milk, salt, and yeasted water into a soft dough.
Cover the dough and let it rise for 50 minutes.
Cook the ground beef in oil for 8 minutes, until its liquid evaporates.
Add the onion and pepper, cook for 7 minutes, season with black pepper, and cool.
Divide the dough in two, spread the first piece in the tray, and scatter the meat filling over it.
Cover with the second dough, press the edges, brush with egg, and sprinkle with nigella seeds.
Bake at 190°C for 30 to 35 minutes, until browned.
💡 Tip: Letting the filling cool completely before spreading prevents the bottom dough from turning gummy.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Slice and serve with ayran, tomato salad, and roasted peppers.
