Instructions
Make the Meat Topping
Combine minced lamb, chopped tomatoes, grated onion, red pepper flakes, parsley, salt, and black pepper in a bowl. Mix thoroughly until a cohesive paste forms.
Prepare the Dough
Divide the dough into 4 equal balls and roll each one out on a floured surface as thin as possible into oval or round shapes roughly 30cm wide.
Top and Bake
Spread a thin even layer of the meat mixture all the way to the edges of each dough round. Place on a hot baking tray or pizza stone and bake at 250C for 8 to 10 minutes until the edges are crisp and golden.
Serve
Remove from the oven, add fresh parsley, sliced tomatoes, and a squeeze of lemon juice on top. Roll up and serve immediately while hot and crispy.
