👨‍🍳 作り方

1. 1

   Prepare the dough: In a large bowl, combine flour, salt, and egg (if using). Gradually add lukewarm water, mixing with a spatula or your hands until a firm, elastic dough forms. Knead for about 5-10 minutes until smooth. Cover with plastic wrap and let rest for at least 30 minutes.

   💡 プロのコツ: The dough should be firm but pliable. Add a little more flour if too sticky, or a touch more water if too dry.
2. 2

   Prepare the filling: In a separate bowl, combine the ground beef, minced onion, minced garlic (if using), paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until well combined.

   💡 プロのコツ: Ensure the onion is very finely minced to avoid large chunks in the filling.
3. 3

   Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to about 2-3 mm thickness. Cut into small squares (about 4-5 cm).

   💡 プロのコツ: You can also use a glass or cookie cutter to make circles.
4. 4

   Place a small spoonful of filling in the center of each dough square. Fold the dough over to create a triangle or half-moon shape, pressing the edges firmly to seal. You can crimp the edges with a fork for extra security.

   💡 プロのコツ: Ensure the edges are well sealed to prevent the filling from escaping during cooking.
5. 5

   Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Carefully add the klepe in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pot. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, or until they float to the surface and are cooked through.

   ⏱️ 10-12 minutes

   💡 プロのコツ: Add a tablespoon of oil to the boiling water to help prevent sticking.
6. 6

   While the klepe are boiling, melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the klepe are cooked, drain them and add them to the skillet. Sauté for a few minutes until lightly golden and slightly crispy.

   ⏱️ 5 minutes

   💡 プロのコツ: This step adds a lovely texture and flavor. Some prefer to serve them simply boiled with a sauce.
7. 7

   Serve hot, optionally with a dollop of sour cream or yogurt, and a sprinkle of paprika.

   💡 プロのコツ: A garlic-yogurt sauce is also a popular accompaniment.
