How to Make Moroccan Bread Stuffed With Meat
- **Prepare the Dough:**
- In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup lukewarm water, 1 teaspoon sugar, and 1 teaspoon active dry yeast. Let stand in a warm place until foamy (about 2 minutes).
- In a large bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon salt.
- Add the yeast mixture and 1 cup milk to the flour mixture.
- Gradually add lukewarm water, a tablespoon at a time, until a stiff but workable dough forms. The dough should pull away from the sides of the bowl but still be slightly tacky.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 10-15 minutes, until smooth and elastic. Add 1 tablespoon sesame seeds and 1 tablespoon nigella seeds during the last 5 minutes of kneading.
- Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a rectangle (approximately 8x12 inches).
- **Prepare the Filling:**
- In a large skillet, brown 1 pound ground lamb or beef over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess grease.
- Add 1 medium onion (finely chopped), 1/2 cup chopped cilantro, 1/4 cup chopped parsley, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander, 1/4 teaspoon turmeric, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional), and salt and pepper to taste. Cook until heated through.
- Optionally, stir in 1/2 cup diced tomatoes and 1/2 cup shredded mild cheddar cheese.
- **Assemble and Bake:**
- Spread 1/4 of the meat filling down the center of each rectangle of dough.
- Fold over the right side, then the left, to form a 3x8 inch package. Flatten slightly to 8x12 inches, then refold into a 3x8 inch package again.
- Place the folded bread packages onto two greased baking sheets.
- Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour.
- Preheat a griddle or large skillet over medium heat. Lightly brush with oil or butter.
- Poke each bread package 5 times on each side with a fork.
- Cook the bread for 8-10 minutes per side, until golden brown and crisp.
- Brush with melted butter before serving.
