Step-by-Step Recipe Guide

Step 1: Prepare the Dough

1. Activate the Yeast: In a mixing bowl, combine warm milk, warm water, and sugar. Sprinkle the yeast over the top and let it sit for 5–10 minutes, until the yeast becomes foamy.
2. Mix Wet Ingredients: Add the vegetable oil to the yeast mixture and stir well.
3. Add Dry Ingredients: Gradually mix in flour and salt, stirring continuously until a dough begins to form.
4. Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
5. Let It Rise: Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.

Step 2: Prepare the Filling

1. While the dough is rising, prepare the filling by dicing the red pepper, yellow pepper, green tomato, and green onions.
2. In a large bowl, mix all the chopped vegetables together, seasoning lightly with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 3: Assemble the Dough Treats

1. Punch Down the Dough: Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release any air bubbles. Divide the dough into two equal portions.
2. Roll It Out: Using a rolling pin, roll out one portion of dough on a floured surface to about 1/4 inch thickness.
3. Add the Filling: Evenly distribute the vegetable mixture over the dough.
4. Seal the Dough: Fold the dough over the filling and press the edges together to seal it. You can twist the edges to give it a decorative finish.

Step 4: Cook the Dough Treats

1. Preheat the Pan: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat with a small amount of vegetable oil.
2. Cook the Dough: Place the filled dough in the skillet and cook for about 3–5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
3. Serve Hot: Slice the dough treats and serve them warm. These are perfect on their own or paired with a delicious dipping sauce like tzatziki or yogurt.
