Critical Success Points

  • Ensuring the dough rises fully (doubling in size) before shaping.
  • Browning the ground beef without overcrowding the pan.
  • Controlling the amount of water in the sauce to avoid excess runniness.
  • Getting the flatbreads to puff by cooking each side long enough for bubbles to form.

Safety Warnings

  • Handle hot oil with care to avoid burns.
  • Cook ground beef to an internal temperature of at least 71°C (160°F).
  • Use oven‑mitts when handling hot pans.
