Instructions

1 ✓

Prepare the dough and let rise for 1 hour.

Tip: The gluten structure gives the dough its elasticity.
2 ✓

Cut meat into small bites, toss with spices and oil, and grill until browned.

Tip: Small pieces brown faster and have more flavor surface area.
3 ✓

Roll out dough, spread sauce, top with cheese, meat, and sliced onions.

Tip: Slice onions thinly so they soften and sweeten during the short baking time.
4 ✓

Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 12-15 minutes.

Tip: Watch the crust: it's done when golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.
5 ✓

Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.

Tip: Cilantro adds a citrusy freshness that cuts the richness of the meat.
