Ingredients:

Musakhan Pie

For the Dough:
  • 700 grams flour (about 4 cups)
  • 2½ cups fine semolina
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2½ cups water

For the Filling:

  • 2½ tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 large onions, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 600 grams chicken fillet, cut into small cubes
  • 1½ teaspoons salt
  • 3 tablespoons sumac
  • 1½ tablespoons paprika
  • Olive oil or vegetable oil for cooking

How to Prepare Musakhan Pie:

  1. Prepare the Filling:

    • Heat ¼ cup of oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and sauté until they are soft and golden.
    • Add the chicken cubes and minced garlic, stirring continuously until the chicken is cooked and changes color.
    • Season with salt, paprika, and sumac, stirring well to coat all the ingredients. Turn off the heat, cover the pan, and set the filling aside.

  2. Prepare the Dough:

    • In a large bowl or electric mixer, combine the flour, semolina, and a pinch of salt.
    • Gradually add water and knead the mixture until the dough becomes smooth and soft.
    • Divide the dough into small balls and place them on a greased baking tray. Cover and let the dough rest for 1 to 2 hours until it rises.

  3. Shape the Pies:

    • After the dough has rested, flatten each ball into thin circles. Lightly brush with some oil and gently stretch to make the dough soft and pliable.
    • Place a spoonful of the chicken filling in the center of each dough circle. Fold the edges to close, forming a square or any preferred shape.

  4. Bake the Pies:

    • Arrange the filled pies on a greased baking tray. Let them rest for 10 minutes before baking.
    • Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and bake the pies until they turn a beautiful golden color, approximately 20-25 minutes.

Your Musakhan Pie is now ready to serve, with a soft dough and flavorful filling, perfect for any meal. Enjoy this delightful dish, and bon appétit!
