The traditional taste of Armenia will be
a favorite! These little meat pizzas are usually made with lamb, but beef
works just as well.

Method:
1. In a small bowl, mix active dry yeast, 1
tablespoon sugar and 1/2 cup warm water. Allow to stand approximately 5
minutes.
2. In a large bowl, mix flour, salt, 3 tablespoons
shortening, remaining sugar, remaining water and the yeast preparation.
Knead until smooth. Use the remaining shortening to remove any dough
sticking to the sides of the bowl, and to remove dough from fingers. Cover
with a towel and place in a warm location until doubled in size, about 2
to 3 hours. |
