Dairy-Free Turkish Lahmacun (Pizza)

Ingredients

• 2 cups All-Purpose Flour
• 1 tsp Instant Yeast
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.75 cup Warm Water
• 2 tbsp Olive Oil
• 1 lb Ground Lamb
• 1 medium Onion
• 1 medium Red Bell Pepper
• 2 medium Tomatoes
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 0.25 cup Fresh Parsley
• 0.25 cup Fresh Mint
• 1 tsp Paprika
• 0.5 tsp Cumin
• 0.25 tsp Red Pepper Flakes

Instructions

1. 1In a large bowl, combine flour, yeast, and salt. Add warm water and olive oil and mix until a dough forms.
2. 2Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 5-7 minutes, or until smooth and elastic. Place in a greased bowl, turn to coat, and cover. Let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
3. 3Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C).
4. 4While the dough is rising, prepare the topping: In a large skillet, cook ground lamb over medium heat, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Drain off any excess fat.
5. 5Add onion, bell pepper, tomatoes, and garlic to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
6. 6Stir in parsley, mint, paprika, cumin, and red pepper flakes. Season with salt and pepper.
7. 7Punch down the dough and divide it into 4 equal portions. Roll each portion out into a thin circle.
8. 8Place the dough circles on baking sheets lined with parchment paper.
9. 9Spread the lamb mixture evenly over the dough circles.
10. 10Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the topping is cooked through.
11. 11Serve immediately.
