Grate the onion on a coarse grater, and pass the garlic through a fine grater or a press. Add the vegetables and the squeezed bread to the minced meat. Season the meat with spices and add salt.

3. Bring the minced meat to homogeneity by actively mixing with your hands. You can additionally pour in 20-30 ml of cold water into the thick minced meat, which will give the patties a bit more moisture.

4. Grease the bottom of the baking dish with vegetable oil. With hands moistened in water, shape the patties into the desired form and place them in the dish. If you want a noticeable crust, coat the patties in breadcrumbs or flour beforehand. Do not place the patties too closely; there should be at least 0.5 cm of space between them. Send the patties to a hot oven. Let them cook for 40 minutes at a temperature of 180 degrees. The baking time may be increased if your patties are larger in size.
