Preparation time: 1 hour
Baking time: 1 hour
Total time: 2 hours
Number of servings: 8

Ingredients:

For the roast:
- 2 pieces of boneless lamb leg (approximately 3 kg)
- 1 tablespoon of dehydrated vegetables
- 1 jar of sliced mushrooms (800 ml)
- 2 dried onions
- Salt, to taste
- 10 green garlic stalks
- 10 green onion stalks
- 1 bunch of fresh lovage
- 3-4 tablespoons of oil

For the dough:
- 1 kg of wheat flour
- 1 cube of yeast
- 2 tablespoons of dehydrated vegetables
- A pinch of salt
- 1 egg
- Warm water (approximately 500 ml, but adjust as necessary)

Preparing the roast:

1. Preparing the meat: Start by deboning the lamb leg, removing the bones and cutting the meat into smaller pieces, to allow for even seasoning penetration. Sprinkle salt and dehydrated vegetables over the meat for flavor. If available, it is recommended to use quality dehydrated vegetables, as they add an intense taste and pleasant aroma. Let the meat sit for 10-15 minutes.

2. Browning the meat: In a large skillet, add a little oil and heat it well. Add the pieces of meat and sauté on the stove until they are evenly browned on all sides. This step is essential, as it will create a delicious crust that will keep the meat juicy. Once the meat is browned, let it cool.

Preparing the dough:

3. Mixing the ingredients: In a large bowl, place the wheat flour, dehydrated vegetables, and salt. These will add a flavor note to the dough. In another container, dissolve the yeast in warm water (not hot, to avoid killing the yeast) and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until activated (foam forms).

4. Kneading the dough: Pour the yeast mixture over the flour and start kneading. Gradually add water until you obtain an elastic dough, but not too soft. Knead for about 10 minutes. This process is crucial for gluten development, which will make the dough fluffy and light. Let the dough rise in a warm place, covered with a towel, until it doubles in volume (about 30-40 minutes).

Assembling the pie:

5. Preparing the filling: While the dough is rising, finely chop the dried onion and sauté it in 2-3 tablespoons of oil in a skillet until golden. Let it cool. After the filling has cooled, add the chopped green garlic, green onion, and finely chopped lovage, as well as the sliced mushrooms (if sautéed, let them cool as well).

6. Rolling out the dough: Once the dough has risen, divide it into two equal portions. On a clean surface, sprinkle a little flour and roll out each piece of dough with a rolling pin, forming a thin sheet about 1 cm thick. Make sure the sheet is large enough to wrap the meat.

7. Adding the filling: Generously sprinkle the vegetable and meat filling onto the dough sheet, leaving free edges to close the roll. Carefully roll the dough, ensuring the filling remains well wrapped. Place the roll in a baking tray lined with parchment paper.

Baking:

8. Preparing for the oven: Beat the egg and brush the roll with it, then sprinkle dehydrated vegetables on top for added flavor and a crispy crust. Preheat the oven to a medium temperature (about 180-200°C) and place the tray in the oven. Bake for about 45-60 minutes, until the dough is nicely browned and sounds hollow when tapped lightly.

Serving:

9. Finalizing the dish: Once the lamb roast in bread dough is ready, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Cut into thick slices and serve with a fresh salad or grilled vegetables. It pairs wonderfully with a glass of red wine or aromatic tea, adding a touch of sophistication to the meal.

Useful tips:

- For an even more intense flavor, let the meat marinate in salt and spices the night before.
- You can experiment with various dehydrated or fresh vegetables, depending on your preferences.
- If you want a vegetarian version, replace the meat with mushrooms or grilled vegetables.
