Step 2

Make the filling: heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté the chopped onion until translucent. Add the hot pepper, garlic and thyme; cook for 1 minute. Season with the filling salt.

Step 3

Mix the ground beef with the allspice and black pepper, then add to the pan. Cook, breaking up any clumps, until no longer pink.

Step 4

Add the ketchup and 2 cups water. Bring to a boil, then simmer until almost all liquid has evaporated and the mixture is thick. Fold in the spring onions. Remove from heat and cool completely.

Step 5

Preheat the oven to 175°C / 350°F. Beat the egg with 1 tbsp water for the egg wash. On a floured surface, roll each dough piece into a circle about 12–13cm across.

Step 6

Place 3 heaped tablespoons of filling on one half of each circle. Moisten the edges with water, fold the other half over and press firmly to seal. Crimp edges with a fork. Place on a parchment-lined baking tray.

Step 7

Brush all patties with egg wash. Bake for 30 minutes until deep golden. Cool on a wire rack and serve warm.
