Lamb Pide

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• ¾ cup warm water
• ½ tsp salt
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• ½ tsp instant yeast
• 1 lb ground lamb
• 1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
• ¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped
• 2 tbsp fresh mint, chopped
• 1 tsp cumin
• ½ tsp paprika
• ¼ tsp black pepper
• ½ tsp salt
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 4 whole eggs
• 2 tbsp olive oil for brushing
• 1 tbsp sesame seeds (optional)

Instructions

1. 1

   Mix warm water, yeast, and a pinch of sugar in a bowl; let sit 5 minutes until foamy.

2. 2

   Combine flour and salt in a large bowl. Make a well and add yeast mixture and olive oil.

3. 3

   Knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes. Form into a ball and let rest 20 minutes covered.

4. 4

   Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add diced onion and cook until softened, 3-4 minutes.

5. 5

   Add ground lamb and cook, breaking it apart, until browned, 6-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if needed.

6. 6

   Stir in cumin, paprika, salt, pepper, parsley, and mint. Cook 1 minute until fragrant. Cool slightly.

7. 7

   Preheat oven to 400°F. Divide dough into 4 equal pieces and roll each into an oval about 8 inches long.

8. 8

   Place dough ovals on parchment-lined baking sheets. Pinch long edges to create raised borders.

9. 9

   Divide lamb filling evenly among the four pides, spreading down the center.

10. 10

    Brush edges with olive oil. Create a small indent at each end and carefully crack 1 egg into each pide.

11. 11

    Sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired. Bake 15-18 minutes until crust is golden and egg whites are set.

12. 12

    Remove from oven and serve immediately while hot.
