Mince Strudel

The idea for this dish came from this site. I thought it'd taste wonderful and so I gave it a try. As usual, I made a few changes, except for the dough.The quality of the picture is quite lame, since I forgot my camera at home and only had my phone at hand.
So here is how it works.

 Dough:

* 250g flour
* 1/2 package of dry yeast
* 1 1/2 tbsp soft butter
* 1 egg
* salt
* 125gr low-fat yoghurt

Put the flour and the yeast in a bowl, add the soft (but not melted) butter and mix with a fork. Add the egg, the salt and the yoghurt and knead until you obtain a nice and firm dough. Cover the bowl and let it rest for about 1/2 hour.

Filling:

* 250gr beef mince
* 1 red pepper
* cumin
* salt, pepper
* baharat
* tomato purée
* red wine
* ground cheese

Heat a pan with a bit of oil and fry the meat. Season with salt, pepper, cumin and, if you like, baharat. Add 1-2 tbsp of tomato purée, a shot of red wine and the cooked red pepper in dices. Reduce heat and wait until the liquid has reduced.  Add the cheese and take away from heat.

Preheat oven to 180°C. Split the dough in half and roll it out. Put the filling onto the dough and roll it up. Do the same with the second half of the dough. Pierce the surface several times with a fork, then bake in the oven for about 20-30 minutes, until the dough is crispy.

Serve with hot tomato sauce and enjoy!
