8. Transfer the rolled-out flatbread to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
9. Spread the lamb mixture evenly over the flatbread.
10. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the edges are golden and the lamb is cooked through.
11. Remove from the oven, let cool for a few minutes, then slice and serve.
