For the Kebab Meat: Grate the white onion and place it in a clean kitchen cloth or paper towel. Squeeze out as much liquid as possible, then transfer the dry, minced onion to a large bowl. Add the finely chopped parsley, minced garlic, ground beef, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix thoroughly by hand until all ingredients are well combined and the mixture is cohesive.

Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil into a glass baking dish (approximately 9x13 inches). Transfer the seasoned meat mixture to the baking dish and flatten it evenly across the bottom. Use a bench scraper to divide the meat into 4 long strips, then cut each strip crosswise to create individual kebab portions (about 3-4 per strip).

Place the two whole Roma tomatoes and three whole green peppers alongside the meat in the baking dish. Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the meat and vegetables.

Bake the kebabs and vegetables in the preheated oven for 12 minutes. After 12 minutes, switch the oven to broil and broil for an additional 6 minutes, or until the kebabs are cooked through and slightly charred. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.

Prepare the bread: On the parchment-lined baking sheet, shape each portion of bread dough into an elongated, baguette-like form. Place a wire rack over the shaped dough to create indentations during baking. Bake in the 400°F (200°C) oven for 13 minutes, or until golden brown.

Once the bread is baked, remove it from the oven. Brush the warm bread with the herb-infused olive oil. Slice each loaf lengthwise down the middle, being careful not to cut all the way through, to open it up for the sandwich filling.
