Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, psyllium husk powder, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

Melt the butter and beat together with eggs and water. Mix well with the dry ingredients until a dough forms.

Add the ground beef to the skillet, cooking until browned. Stir in cumin powder, salt, and pepper.

Step 8

Remove the dough from the refrigerator and divide it into 8 equal pieces.

Step 9

Roll each piece into a ball and then flatten it into a circle about 5 inches in diameter.

Step 10

Place about 2 tablespoons of the meat mixture in the center of each circle.

Step 11

Fold the dough over the filling to form a triangle and pinch the edges together to seal.

Step 12

Place the sealed samsa onto the prepared baking sheet.

Step 13

Beat the egg yolk and brush over each samsa. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top for added texture and flavor.

Step 14

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
