Armenian Meat Pies

1. 1

   Bread dough equivalent to four loaves (I use the Rhodes pre-made dough).

2. 2

   Let bread dough rise as if you are going to bake it. Plan ahead, if using frozen dough, this could take 6-8 hours.

3. 3

   Heat oven to 450 degree F.

4. 4

   Mix the raw hamburger, tomatoes, chopped green pepper and parsley together. You can mix by hand or with a mixer. Add the allspice, red pepper, garlic and salt.

5. 5

   Pull off chunks of bread dough to form 1 1/2 to 2 inch diameter balls. Roll flat - about 1/4 inch thick. They should look like little pizza crusts.

6. 6

   Place two to three bread crusts on a cookie sheet, and spread about 1/4 c to 1/3 c of the meat mixture on each unbaked crust.

7. 7

   Bake for 15 - 20 minutes, until the meat isn't red and the bread is golden brown. You can bake 2 pans at once, but may need to rotate them.

8. 8

   Eat hot.

9. 9

   These freeze and reheat really well.
