Time 45m

Yield 80 pies, 5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

5 cups flour
1/2 cup vegetable shortening
3 teaspoons yeast
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 tablespoons oil
1 1/2 cups warm water (about 100 F.)
1 tablespoon jerk seasoning
1 lb lean ground beef
1 cup catsup
3 ounces tomato paste
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 large white onion, finely chopped
1 teaspoon ground allspice
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Mix all dough ingredients well. Knead for a few moments. Set aside to rest while preparing filling. Mix all the filling ingredients. Preheat the oven to 400°F
  • Since you will be preparing a large number of these, it makes sense to work on a large, clean surface. The kitchen table is perfect. Roll half the dough to 1/8 inch thickness on a clean table. Use a glass, 2-2.5 inches in diameter to cut circles of dough. Place these circles on a well oiled baking sheet. Work the remaining dough into a ball, and roll it out to cut more circles. Keep combining the circle cutouts until you have used all the dough. Place 1.5 teaspoons filling on each circle. With a fork, carefully smooth filling to the edge of the circle. It's fine for the lahma bi ajeen to touch each other in the pan, but they cannot overlap.
  • Bake for about 20 minutes, or until dough is just firm but not crisp.
  • Serve with tehina and soup or salad for a first course.
