Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C).

Finely chop onion, garlic, and bell pepper; set aside.

In a large bowl, combine ground lamb, chopped vegetables, parsley, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper.

Mix the filling until well combined; add lemon juice and olive oil.

Divide the dough into small balls and roll each into a thin circle.

Spread a thin layer of the meat mixture evenly over each dough circle.

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

Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, until the edges are crispy and the meat is cooked through.

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before slicing.

Serve warm with fresh herbs and lemon wedges.
