Balsamic vinegar offers acidity, while honey provides sweetness.

Start by mixing warm water, yeast, and sugar in a bowl and let it sit for about 10 minutes until it bubbles up.

Add flour, olive oil, a pinch of salt, and baking powder to the yeast mixture and mix together.

Knead the mixture into a soft dough for about 5 to 10 minutes until smooth.

Grease a bowl and place the dough inside, covering it with a blanket to rest in a warm place for 1 to 2 hours until it doubles in size.

Prepare the meat topping by combining 1 kilogram of minced meat, chopped onions, chopped parsley, minced garlic, tomato puree, and crushed tomatoes in a bowl.

Season the meat mixture generously with salt, pepper, mint spice, chili flakes, cumin, and olive oil, and mix well by hand.

Flour the surface and take portions of the dough to roll out into flatbreads, using hands followed by a rolling pin.

Place the rolled out flatbreads onto a baking tray.

Spread the meat topping evenly over the dough, leaving a crust on the edges.

Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius and bake for about 15 to 20 minutes, keeping an eye on it to prevent burning.
