In a mixing bowl, combine 4 cups of flour, 1 and 1/2 cups of water, 1 tablespoon of salt, and 1 packet of yeast.

Mix the ingredients until a dough forms.

Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.

Place the dough in a bowl, cover it with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm area for about 1 hour until it doubles in size.

In another bowl, mix 1 pound of ground lamb with 1 finely chopped onion, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon of cumin, 1 teaspoon of paprika, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1/4 cup of chopped parsley.

Shape the meat mixture into long skewers, about 6 inches long.

Preheat a grill over a wood fire until hot.

Grill the skewers for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are fully cooked and have a nice char.

Roll out the risen dough into thin rounds, about 1/4 inch thick.

Bake the rolled-out dough on a barrel over the wood fire for about 2-3 minutes per side until puffed and lightly browned.

Serve the kebabs wrapped in lavash with sliced tomatoes and bell peppers.
