Armenian Meat Pies

• 1 lb extra lean ground beef
• 1 (11 ounce) can tomatoes or (11 ounce) can tomato puree
• 1 green pepper, finely chopped
• 1/2 bunch fresh parsley, about 1/4 cup chopped
• 1/2 tablespoon allspice
• 1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon red cayenne pepper
• 2 -3 garlic cloves, crushed
• 1 teaspoon salt

1. Bread dough equivalent to four loaves (I use the Rhodes pre-made dough).
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. Heat oven to 450 degree F.
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. 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. 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. 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. Eat hot.
9. These freeze and reheat really well.
