Step 1

Take a large bowl and combine the flour and the salt

Step 2

Add the water bit by bit, mixing until the mixture forms a dough

Step 3

Knead the dough for around five minutes, until it turns quite stretchy

Step 4

Split the dough mixture into batches of four and press down to flatten

Step 5

You need to find a bowl or a pan which is large enough to hold the dough when it is piled up on top of each other

Step 6

Add a little bit of vegetable oil to the pan or bowl and put the first flattened piece of dough inside

Step 7

Add a bit more oil (not too much), and add another piece of dough – repeat until you’ve done the same with all four pieces

Step 8

Add more vegetable oil on top of the last piece and place to one side to rest

Step 9

Preheat your oven to around 200°C (390°F)

Step 10

Add a little vegetable oil over your work surface (a table is best) – just a little!

Step 11

Remove one piece of dough from the bowl and remove the excess oil

Step 12

Flatten the piece of dough until it reaches a thickness of no more than around half a centimeter

Step 13

Handle the dough and stretch it outwards, over and over, so that you pull it to around 1 meter in diameter – you might end up with a few holes but don’t worry about it too much. By the end, you should be able to see through the dough

Step 14

Take one side of the dough disc and fold it over, towards the center

Step 15

Repeat this process until you have a shape that resembles a pentagon

Step 16

Repeat with the second piece of dough

Step 17

Add your filling (see below for the filling instructions) to the dough piece

Step 18

Add the first piece of stretched dough into the middle of the second one, and cut away the thick edge of the second piece – you can throw this away, you won’t need it

Step 19

Fold over the edges of the dough, so that you get a pentagon shape once more, and put it into a baking pan or tray

Step 20

Put the pan in the oven and bake for around half an hour, until it is a golden color

Step 21

Remove from the oven and let it cool down

Step 22

Cut into 12 pieces

Step 23

Repeat the process with the rest of the dough

Step 24

Bake until the pastry turns golden, and serve while warm!

Step 25

Take a mixing bowl and add in both kinds of cheese, combining together

Step 26

Add the egg and combine once more

Step 27

Take a large pan and heat up the oil over a medium heat

Step 28

Add the onion and cook until soft

Step 29

Now, add the mince and cook for around 2 minutes, stirring regularly

Step 30

Now, add the potato, the rosemary, the garlic, and the paprika, and stir to combine

Step 31

Add the salt and continue to cook, ensuring the beef mince is cooked through

Step 32

Once cooked, drain the beef with a sieve to get rid of any excess oil and press down to dry it out
