Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400F/200C. Brush a large baking sheet with a little oil.
- Either cut the breads in half or cut a slit along the edge on one side around 2 inches in length.
- Finley chop the onion, pepper and tomato and crush or finely chop the garlic.
- Mix together the ground beef, onion, pepper, tomato, garlic, parsley and spices. Mix everything well so the ingredients are well-distributed - this is often easiest by hand.
- Divide the mixture between the breads and fill, taking care not to break the bread, as far as possible, and spreading the filling relatively evenly in towards the edges.
- Place the filled bread on the baking sheet and brush either side of the bread with a little oil.
- Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 15 minutes, then turn and bake for another 5 minutes, approximately, until the bread is browned and gently crisp on both sides and the meat is cooked through.
- Best served warm, or can be served at room temperature - typically served with tahini sauce on the side to dip.
