This Middle Eastern flatbread is topped with spiced mince and herbs and then cooked in a pizza oven. If you don't have a pizza oven at home, you can just cook it in the oven. Makes a great lunch or snack!
Ingredients
- 300g (10.6 oz) plain or AP flour
- 5g (0.2 oz) instant yeast
- 0.5 tsp sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 180ml (3/4 cup) water
- 300g (10.6 oz) lamb mince
- 2 tomatoes, grated
- 1 onion, finely diced
- 2 cloves garlic, finely grated
- small bunch of parsley, chiffonade
- 2 tbsp yoghurt
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp paprika
- lemon and parsley, to serve
Directions
Place the flour, yeast, sugar, and salt into the bowl of a stand mixer (if you don’t have a mixer, just use your hands in a bowl).
- Add the water and mix on medium for 4-5 minutes or until the dough is smooth.
- Roll the dough into a ball, place it back into the mixing bowl, and cover with a tea towel. Leave it at room temperature for 1 hour or until it has almost doubled in size.
- While that's proofing, prepare the topping by mixing all the other ingredients in a separate bowl.
- Once the dough is proofed, divide it into 6 even portions and roll each tightly. Cover and leave to rest for 10 minutes.
- Preheat your pizza oven to 400 c/750 f or your oven to its maximum temperature. If using an oven, you will need a pizza stone, heavy tray, or cast iron pan inside the oven as well.
- Roll out each dough ball very thinly, then spread the mince mixture thinly, leaving a 1cm edge around the outside.
- Place into the oven for 3-6 minutes, depending on its temperature. You are looking for a nice colour on the dough and for the meat to be cooked through.
- Serve with fresh parsley and a squeeze of fresh lemon.
