Notes
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a 375°F oven for 10 minutes to restore crispiness. Make-Ahead: Prepare the dough and cook the beef mixture up to a day ahead; assemble and bake just before serving. Variations: Add sliced olives or a drizzle of tahini sauce for extra Middle Eastern flair. For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the beef mixture. Serve with a side of fresh cucumber-tomato salad for a complete meal.
