1.Take all the dry ingredients for the barbacoa rub, place in a bowl and mix. Take the lamb and trim any excess fat or sinew. Score the top of the lamb lightly through the fat. Rub the lamb with a little vegetable oil and then put the dry rub onto the lamb all over and allow to marinate overnight.
2. Take the lamb and place into a baking dish/tray. Cover with foil and bake at 160°C for 3 hours. Remove the foil for the last hour. Leave to one side to cool.

Split the dough in 20 small balls. Roll out each ball into a flat round and pan fry until cooked through and starting to brown on both sides. Set aside.
