Ingredients

• All-purpose flour - 200 grams
• Warm water - 120 ml
• Instant yeast - 5 grams
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Ground lamb - 250 grams
• Za'atar spice blend - 2 tablespoons
• Onion - 1 small, finely chopped
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Tomato paste - 1 tablespoon
• Fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Lemon juice - 1 tablespoon
• Feta cheese - 50 grams, crumbled
• Black olives - 30 grams, pitted and sliced

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, yeast, and salt. Gradually add warm water and olive oil, mixing until a dough forms.
2. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 30 minutes or until doubled in size.
3. In a skillet over medium heat, add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until translucent.
4. Add the ground lamb to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spoon, and cook until browned. Stir in the tomato paste and za'atar, cooking for another 2 minutes. Remove from heat and mix in the chopped parsley and lemon juice.
5. Preheat the oven to 220°C (425°F). Roll out the dough on a floured surface into two rounds about 10 inches in diameter.
6. Transfer the dough to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Evenly spread the lamb mixture over the dough, leaving a small border.
7. Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese and sliced olives on top. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and crispy.
8. Slice and serve hot, garnished with extra parsley if desired.
