  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

For the Venison Meat Mixture:

  • 2 lbs ground venison or 1 lb lamb + 1 lb beef
  • 1/4 cup gluten-free breadcrumbs or crushed gluten-free croutons
  • 5 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 whole onion finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 2 teaspoons cumin
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Make the Flatbread Dough: In a large bowl, combine milk and sourdough discard. Add flour, baking powder, salt, and olive oil. Mix until a soft dough forms. Set aside to rest while preparing the meat (or refrigerate to use later).

  2. Prepare the Meat Mixture: In a bowl, combine ground venison, breadcrumbs, garlic, onion, oregano, cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix until fully combined. Add a bit of olive oil to the mixture for extra moisture.
  3. Cook the Meat: Transfer the meat mixture to a greased baking dish or pan (coated with olive oil). Bake at 375°F (190°C) for about 35 minutes, or until cooked through. (Note: Lamb or beef may require closer to 50 minutes.)
  4. Prepare the Toppings: While the meat cooks, prep toppings: chop vegetables, drain olives, and prepare tzatziki sauce.
  5. Cook the Flatbread: Divide dough into portions and roll out into flat rounds. Cook in a hot skillet until lightly browned and cooked through on both sides.
  6. Assemble: Top flatbread with cooked meat and desired toppings. Serve immediately.
