Ingredients
For the Dough:
- 3 cups flour
- 1 cup warm water
- 1 tablespoon yogurt
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon dry yeast
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
For the Topping:
- 400g minced lamb or beef

- 1 green pepper, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 2 tablespoons red pepper paste
- 1 teaspoon cumin

Instructions
- Make Dough: Mix yeast and sugar in warm water. Add flour, yogurt, salt, and olive oil. Knead for 10 minutes until smooth. Let rise for 1 hour.
- Prepare Topping: Mix all topping ingredients in a bowl. The mixture should be paste-like but spreadable.
- Shape: Divide dough into 8-10 pieces. Roll each very thin (like a tortilla).
- Top: Spread meat mixture thinly and evenly over the dough, leaving a small border.
- Bake: Bake in a very hot oven (250°C/480°F) or on a pizza stone for 5-7 minutes until edges are crispy.
- Serve: Roll up with fresh parsley, lemon juice, and onion-sumac salad. Serve hot.
Tips
The oven must be very hot for the perfect crispy texture. Roll the dough as thin as possible for authentic results.
