Manoushi Bread Stuffed With Spiced Lamb

The recipe is basically a simple Manoushi bread that I stuffed with spiced lamb. I also wanted to try to cook some of the batch on a grill just to experiment with the flavor. I think it was as good as the one cooked from the oven. But, my family preferred the one from the oven since it was a lot more pillowy, yet still has that chewy texture that they like so much. If you like, you can make this recipe into one large stuffed bread, just divide the dough into two portions, make into circles, place the lamb filling in one circle, and top with another circle. Pinch the two dough together to seal them. Then adjust the baking time accordingly. I am also sending this to "yeast spotting" at Susan's blog. Manoushi Bread Stuffed With Spiced Lamb ~elra~ 1 recipe for manoushi bread 1 pound ground lamb 1 small onion, finely chopped 1 garlic, minced 1 tsp ground cumin 1 tsp ground coriander 1 tsp ground ginger 1 - 1½ cups roughly chopped mint 3 green onion, chopped ½ cup chopped parsley salt and pepper to taste 1 tbs olive oil Follow the recipe for making manoushi bread up to the 2nd step. Fry onion with 1 tablespoon olive oil until soft, add garlic, cumin, coriander, and ginger, fry for another few seconds. Add the ground lamb, stir and break the lump with the back of a wooden spoon. Continue to cook for about 10 t 15 minutes, add mint, green onion, parsley, salt and pepper, give another quick stir, taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Turn off the heat and cool completely. Place the baking stone on a lowest rack of your oven, preheat to 450⁰F. Flip the dough over on a lightly floured counter top, divide into 12 portions, lightly dust with flour. Roll out each dough to about 6 inches circle, or any shape you like. Add a few tablespoons lamb or, as much as you can fill in, top with another dough, pinch to seal. Save any left over lamb filling for other use. Slide into the hot oven, and bake directly on top of the stone for about 5 minutes. If you want to make it on top of the griddle, preheat your griddle on a medium high heat, grill for about 3 to 5 minutes on each side. Serve immediately.
