Equipment
- Large mixing bowl
- Large pot for boiling the Klepe
- Medium-sized skillet or frying pan for cooking the meat filling
Ingredients
For the dough:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup warm water
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
For the filling:
- 1/2 pound ground beef
- 1/2 onion finely chopped
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
For the broth:
- 8 cups water
- 1 tablespoon salt
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, egg, warm water, and salt. Mix until the dough comes together and is smooth. Cover the dough and let it rest for 30 minutes.
- In a separate mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, onion, garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
- On a floured surface, roll out the dough to a thickness of about 1/8 inch. Cut the dough into 2-inch squares.
- Place a small amount of the beef filling in the center of each square of dough. Fold the dough over the filling and pinch the edges together to seal.
- Bring the water and salt to a boil in a large pot. Add the Klepe to the boiling water and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the Klepe float to the surface.
- Using a slotted spoon, remove the Klepe from the water and serve hot with a dollop of sour cream or yogurt, if desired.

Tips and Tricks
To make the dough easier to handle, you can add a little bit of flour at a time until the dough is not sticky. When making the filling, sauté the onion and garlic first to enhance the flavor of the filling. You can also add some spices to the filling, such as paprika, cumin, or coriander, to give it more depth of flavor.Nutrition
