After 4.5 hours, turn the lamb and check if the meat is well-cooked by pricking it with a fork. If so, take off the aluminium foil and cook for a further 30 minutes or until nicely browned.

Remove from the oven and pull the meat, then baste with its juice to add moisture and flavour. While the oven is still warm, put the flatbreads in.
