Popular across the Middle East, these spiced, herby flatbreads can be eaten for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, and are easily adjusted depending on what you have available; lamb can be swapped for beef and the spices used can be experimented with depending on your preference. The dough is very easy to work with and transforms into a wonderfully crisp, puffy base for the juicy lamb mixture.
