Sweet potatoes add nutrients, while instant is budget-friendly.

Prepare the dough by mixing flour, SAF instant yeast, vegetable shortening, warm water, and salt until a dough forms.

Roll out the dough and place it in a baking dish.

For the filling, brown the lamb stewing meat and shoulder chops in a pot.

Add chopped garlic and parsley to the meat, season with salt and black pepper.

Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of flour on the bottom of the crust before adding the meat filling.

Pour the meat filling into the crust and cover with another layer of dough.

Brush the top crust with beaten egg for glazing.

Bake in the oven until golden brown.
