Method

In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Gradually add water while mixing until a rough dough forms. Knead for 10 minutes until smooth. Place in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise at room temperature for 2 hours.
In a pan, cook the ground beef with onions until browned. Add tomatoes, green pepper, and herbs. Season with paprika, cumin, and coriander. Cook for 10 minutes.
Roll out the dough into thin circles. Spread the meat mixture on top.
Bake at 220°C (425°F) for 10-12 minutes until the edges are golden. Top with a fried egg before serving.
Check that the ground meat reaches 71°C (160°F) throughout before serving.
