Ingredients:
Instructions:
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine 3 cups of flour, 1 tsp of yeast, and 1 tsp of salt.
2. Gradually add 1 cup of water and 1 tbsp of olive oil to the flour mixture, stirring until a rough dough forms.
3. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
4. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.
1. In a large skillet, heat a small amount of olive oil over medium heat.
2. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until soft and translucent.
3. Add the lamb mince to the skillet, breaking it up with a spoon, and cook until browned.
4. Stir in 1 tsp of spice mix and cook for another minute.
5. Add the chopped spinach and cook until wilted.
6. Season the mixture with salt to taste, then remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
7. Mix in the crumbled feta cheese.
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 4 equal pieces.
3. On a floured surface, roll each piece of dough into an oval shape, about 1/4 inch thick.
4. Spoon the lamb mixture evenly onto the center of each dough oval, leaving about an inch of border around the edges.
5. Fold the edges of the dough over the filling, pinching the ends to seal and create a boat-like shape.
6. Transfer the assembled pides to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
7. Brush the edges of the dough with the beaten egg if using, for a golden finish.
1. Bake the pides in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the dough is golden and cooked through.
1. Remove the pides from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
2. Enjoy your Lamb, Spinach & Feta Pide warm!

- Preheat the oven.: Ensure your oven is properly preheated to achieve an even bake, resulting in a golden and crispy pide.
- Brush with egg wash.: Brush the pide with beaten egg before baking to give it a beautiful, golden-brown finish.
