• 3–4 tablespoons cold water

For the Filling:

• 1 pound ground beef

• 1 small onion, finely chopped

• 1 small green bell pepper, finely chopped (optional)

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 teaspoon salt

• 2 tablespoons tomato paste or ketchup

• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

• ½ cup milk

• 2 large eggs

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Crust

1. In a medium bowl, combine the flour and salt.

2. Add the cold butter cubes and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until the texture resembles coarse crumbs.

3. Gradually add cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together.

4. Form the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Tip: Chilling the dough helps make it flaky and easier to roll out.
