Steps:
- Dough:.
- Dissolve the sugar in the ¼ cup water. Sprinkle the yeast over the water and let ferment and bubble.
- In a large bowl combine the yeast, flour, salt, olive oil, egg, and warm milk. Knead until a soft dough is formed. Dough will be slightly sticky, so always make sure your hands have a little olive oil on them.
- Lightly grease the same bowl with olive oil. Return the dough to the bowl, cover with a clean cloth and leave in a warm dry place for at least 2 hours, until doubled.
- Meat Filling :.
- Heat the olive oil in a heavy large skillet over medium high heat. Add the ground lamb or beef and stir and cook until the meat is crumbly and it is no longer pink.
- Stir in the chopped onion and cook, stirring until the onion is soft , about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the pine nuts and all of the spices and seasonings. Stir and cook for one minute. Add the chopped tomatoes.
- Cover the skillet , reduce the heat to low and cook for 10-15 minutes until the tomato is soft.
- Remove from heat. Stir in the fresh lemon juice.
- The mixture should not be watery but it should be moist. Set aside to cool.
- Assembly:.
- Take fist-fulls of the dough and on a floured surface roll out into small balls. Let rest for 5 minutes. Flatten each dough ball into 4" disc, about ½" thick.
- Place on a lightly oiled baking sheet and top with meat. Repeat with remaining dough and meat.
- Bake until golden brown, about 18-20 minutes. Serve warm.
- Best way to eat: Serve hot out of the oven or warm with fresh lemon or plain yogurt.

Steps:
- To save time, you could substitute with fresh thin-crust pizza dough. But if you're more adventurous, here's how to make this simple dough from scratch.
- Melt the yeast in 1/2 cup of warm water along with a tiny bit of sugar (1/8th of a teaspoon)
- Add all dough ingredients to your food processor, and let it knead for a few minutes until you get a dough. Alternatively you could also knead by hand by mixing all ingredients in a bowl.
- Let the dough rest for 20 minutes as you now prepare the meat fillings.
- Preheat oven to 500-520 degrees F
- Once dough is ready, make it into rounds of 8 inches in diameter and 1/3 inch thick
- Place dough on baking tray that has had some flour sprinkled on
- Spread 3-4 tablespoons of meat topping evenly on every dough
- Bake for about 10 minutes or until dough turns a bit golden. You could also end it with a 2-minute broil on High.
