Ingredients
- 500 grams all-purpose flour
- 250 ml water
- 30 ml vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 300 grams ground beef
- 1 medium, finely chopped onion
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 500 ml corn oil
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually add the water and oil while mixing with a wooden spoon until a rough dough forms.
Step 2
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Cover the dough with plastic wrap or a damp cloth and let it rest for 20 minutes.
Step 3
While the dough is resting, prepare the filling by combining ground beef, finely chopped onion, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika in a bowl. Mix the ingredients thoroughly until well combined.
Step 4
Divide the rested dough into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a thin circle about 20 cm in diameter on a floured surface.
Step 5
Place approximately 2 tablespoons of the meat filling onto one half of each dough circle, leaving a small border around the edge.
Step 6
Fold the other half of the dough over the filling, pressing the edges together to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges, ensuring they are sealed completely.
Step 7
In a deep frying pan, heat the corn oil over medium-high heat. Test the oil by dropping a small piece of dough into it; it should sizzle and rise to the surface.
Step 8
Carefully place one or two chebureks into the hot oil, depending on the size of your pan, and fry each side for about 3-5 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Step 9
Remove from the oil and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil. Repeat with the remaining chebureks.
Step 10
Serve hot and enjoy your dairy-free cheburek with a side of fresh salad or your favorite dipping sauce.
