For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of tomato paste to the spice mixture. If you don't have ground lamb, ground beef or a mixture of beef and lamb can be used as a substitute. Don't skip the resting period! It's crucial for a juicy and tender result. Prepare a variety of toppings to cater to everyone's preferences, such as shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sliced onions, tzatziki sauce, hummus, and hot sauce.

02
Step
5 mins
In a large bowl, thoroughly combine the flour, oregano, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Add the ground lamb and knead until all ingredients are uniformly mixed, approximately 3 minutes. (5 minutes)
03
Step
2 mins
Shape the seasoned lamb mixture into a loaf and place it in a loaf pan. Set the loaf pan on top of a baking sheet. (2 minutes)
04
Step
1 hrs 20 mins
Bake in the preheated oven, rotating the loaf halfway through to ensure even browning, for about 1 hour and 20 minutes. (80 minutes)
05
Step
10 mins
Remove the loaf from the oven and wrap it in aluminum foil. Allow it to rest for 10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful kebab. (10 minutes)

StepUsing a sharp knife or preferably a meat slicer, slice the loaf as thinly as possible to create the characteristic doner kebab pieces. Serve immediately in warm pita bread with your favorite toppings.
