Crispy Lamb Pide

Ingredients

• 300 g store-bought pizza dough or naan dough
• 200 g ground lamb
• ½ medium yellow onion
• 3 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 pinch salt and pepper

Instructions

1. 1

   Set the oven to 425°F and wait until the indicator light or beep tells you it has finished heating, about 10 minutes.

2. 2

   Place the onion flat-side down on the cutting board and slice lengthwise from root to tip into thin half-moons about the thickness of a coin.

3. 3

   Place a skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil; wait until the oil shimmers and slides quickly when you tilt the pan.

4. 4

   Add the ground lamb to the hot skillet and break it apart with a wooden spoon into pea-sized pieces as it cooks until it is no longer pink, about 5 minutes.

5. 5

   Add the sliced onions to the cooked lamb and stir constantly until the onions are soft and light golden, about 3 minutes.

6. 6

   Remove the skillet from heat, then stir in the chopped parsley and pinch of salt and pepper; let it cool for 2 minutes.

7. 7

   Divide the dough into 2 equal pieces and roll or stretch each piece on a clean, dry surface into a boat shape about 5 inches long and 3 inches wide.

8. 8

   Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly brush it with olive oil, then place both dough boats on the sheet, spaced 2 inches apart.

9. 9

   Pinch the long edges of each boat upward with your fingers to create a 0.5-inch-tall rim on all sides, creating a shallow well for the filling.

10. 10

    Divide the lamb mixture evenly between the two boats, spreading it into an even layer inside each well.

11. 11

    Drizzle 0.5 tablespoon of olive oil over the filling on each pide.

12. 12

    Place the baking sheet in the preheated 425°F oven and bake until the dough edges are golden brown and the surface of the meat is caramelized, about 8 minutes.

13. 13

    Remove the pide from the oven and let them rest on the baking sheet for 1 minute before serving.
