Ingredients

• All-purpose flour - 200 grams
• Warm water - 120 ml
• Active dry yeast - 5 grams
• Salt - 5 grams
• Olive oil - 15 ml
• Ground lamb - 200 grams
• Garlic, minced - 2 cloves
• Ginger, minced - 1 teaspoon
• Ground cumin - 1 teaspoon
• Ground coriander - 1 teaspoon
• Chili flakes - 1/2 teaspoon
• Soy sauce - 15 ml
• Bell pepper, sliced - 1 medium
• Red onion, thinly sliced - 1 small
• Fresh cilantro, chopped - 2 tablespoons
• Feta cheese, crumbled - 50 grams

Steps

1. In a bowl, combine warm water and active dry yeast. Let it sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Gradually add the yeast mixture and olive oil, mixing until a dough forms.
3. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth. Place in a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let rise for 30 minutes.
4. While the dough is rising, heat a skillet over medium heat. Add ground lamb, garlic, ginger, cumin, coriander, chili flakes, and soy sauce. Cook until the lamb is browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes.
5. Preheat the oven to 220°C (428°F).
6. Once the dough has risen, roll it out on a floured surface to a thin circle (about 10 inches in diameter). Transfer it to a baking sheet or pizza stone.
7. Spread the cooked lamb evenly over the dough. Top with sliced bell pepper, red onion, and crumbled feta cheese.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden and crispy.
9. Remove from oven and garnish with fresh cilantro before slicing and serving.
