Prepare bread dough and let it rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.

Add chopped onion and garlic, sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.

Stir in ground meat and cook until browned, about 7-10 minutes.

Add diced bell pepper, tomato, parsley, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes, cooking for another 5 minutes.

Roll out the bread dough on a floured surface to desired thickness.

Spread the meat mixture evenly over the dough, leaving edges clear.

Fold the edges of the dough over the filling to create a sealed loaf.

Place the loaf on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Brush the top with beaten egg for a golden finish.

Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 25-30 minutes.

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before slicing.
