Who this list is for
Use this list if you want to make Lebanese sfeeha meat pies for a group—think family dinner, potluck, or a party tray. It’s for home cooks who want to serve 12 small pies with a tangy, savory topping. If you’re making these for the first time, or scaling up for a crowd, this list keeps you organized.
How to use this list
Start by gathering everything on the list before you prep. Measure out 4 cups all-purpose flour, 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast, and 1 1/2 cups warm water for the dough. Olive oil and a teaspoon of granulated sugar go in next. For the topping, you’ll need 1 pound ground beef, a yellow onion, 2 Roma tomatoes, and 2 tablespoons pomegranate molasses. Don’t forget the 1/3 cup pine nuts and 1/2 cup fresh parsley. Spices include 1 teaspoon ground allspice and 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Work through each item in order, prepping and measuring before you start mixing or cooking.
Common mistakes
It’s easy to forget to proof the yeast or to use cold water, which can keep your dough from rising. Don’t skip the pomegranate molasses—this gives sfeeha its signature tang. Avoid overloading the pies with filling or they may burst open during baking. Pine nuts can burn if sprinkled on top too early; mix them into the filling instead. Double-check that you have enough flour and ground beef before you begin.
What is on this list
You’ll need basics like all-purpose flour, active dry yeast, and olive oil for the dough. The filling calls for ground beef, yellow onion, Roma tomatoes, pomegranate molasses, ground allspice, cinnamon, pine nuts, and fresh parsley. Cross off anything you already have in your pantry or fridge. Don’t substitute pomegranate molasses with regular molasses—the flavor is different.
Before you go
Before shopping, check your pantry for flour, yeast, and spices. Make sure your pomegranate molasses isn’t expired. Pick up fresh produce and ground beef the day you plan to cook, or a day ahead. Prep your dough first so it has time to rise while you chop and mix the filling. Lay out all ingredients on your counter before starting assembly. This helps the process go smoothly and keeps you from missing a step.
