- 300 grams ground beef
- 1 medium onion (grated)
- 1 teaspoon black pepper

- Prepare the filling by mixing ground beef, grated onion, salt, and black pepper in a bowl.
- Roll out the rested dough on a floured surface and cut it into tiny squares.
- Place the meat filling in the center of the squares and pinch the corners together.
- Arrange the prepared manti side by side in a round baking tray greased with plenty of butter.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 190°C (375°F) for about 15 minutes until lightly browned.
