Ingredients

• All-purpose flour - 200 grams
• Active dry yeast - 5 grams
• Warm water - 120 ml
• Olive oil - 15 ml
• Salt - 5 grams
• Ground lamb - 250 grams
• Onion - 1 medium, finely chopped
• Green bell pepper - 1, finely chopped
• Tomato - 1 medium, diced
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Paprika - 5 grams
• Black pepper - 2 grams
• Cumin - 3 grams
• Fresh parsley - 10 grams, chopped
• Egg - 1 (for egg wash)

Steps

1. In a bowl, combine warm water and yeast; let it sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
2. Add olive oil, salt, and flour to the yeast mixture; knead until a smooth dough forms. Cover and let it rise for 30 minutes.
3. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground lamb until browned. Add onion, garlic, and bell pepper; sauté until softened.
4. Stir in diced tomato, paprika, black pepper, and cumin; cook for 5 more minutes. Remove from heat and mix in chopped parsley.
5. Preheat your oven to 220°C (428°F).
6. Roll out the dough on a floured surface into an oval shape (about 1 cm thick).
7. Transfer the dough to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Place the lamb mixture in the center, leaving a border around the edges.
8. Fold the edges of the dough over the filling, pinching to create a boat shape.
9. Beat the egg and brush the dough edges with the egg wash.
10. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until the crust is golden brown. Serve hot.
