Step 7
Start kneading the dough. First, mix all the ingredients with a spoon, then continue kneading by hand until you get a smooth, non-sticky dough that doesn't cling to your fingers. It's essential that the dough doesn't stick to your fingers, otherwise your chebureki will fall apart during shaping. Therefore, if necessary, add a little more flour while kneading. Shape the dough into a ball, place it into a food-grade plastic bag, and refrigerate for 1 hour.

While the dough is resting in the refrigerator, you can prepare the filling for the future chebureks. To do this, place the ground meat in a bowl, grate the peeled onion on a fine grater, press the peeled garlic cloves through a garlic press, add salt, ground pepper, and mix everything until a homogeneous mass is obtained.
