- ½ cup barbecue sauce
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- ½ teaspoon chili powder
- 1 Tablespoon spicy brown mustard
- ½ lb ground beef
- 1 package (24 pieces) mini pizza dough rounds (2-3 inches)
- Preheat oven to 425. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a small bowl, whisk together barbecue sauce, paprika, ground ginger, chili powder and mustard until combined.
- Place meat into a medium bowl and add ⅔ of the sauce. Mix to distribute the sauce through the meat. Form the mixture into 24 small meatballs. Reserve remaining sauce.
- Brush a bit of the reserved sauce in the center of a pizza dough round, then place a meatball on top of it. Fold the circle into the three cornered hamantashen shape, then place on the prepared baking sheet.
- Repeat with remaining dough, sauce and meatballs. Brush sauce over the tops of each hamantash. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until golden and the dough is cooked through.
- These hamantaschen freeze well in an airtight container or bag.

Hi. Is the ginger necessary? I’m not a huge fan of ginger.
What would be a good sauce to drizzle over this?
garlic mayo
Hi, can I use homemade pizza dough? I don’t know where to get pizza rounds in Israel.
Sure!
Hi can these be made with puff pastry dough instead of pizza dough?
I made these today- absolutely fabulous! (I added a bit of honey because I was afraid they would be too spicy, but I think it would be great either way). I will be serving these with a honey mustard dip. TIP-place closer together on baking sheet (almost touching) and closse them well as the liquid from the meat makes them open a little….)
Any suggested sauce to go with this? Thanks!
BBQ Sauce mixed with mayo, or a garlic mayo.
overtimecook, thanks a lot for the post.Really thank you! Much obliged.
Huge hit at the Purim seuda! (I added a bit of honey and swerved with a dijon, honey dipping sauce)
Would either puff pastry or malawach dough work with this recipe? Thank you.
Wonton wrappers work?
