Dairy-Free Turkish Lahmacun (Turkish Pizza)

Instructions

1. 1In a large bowl, combine flour, yeast, sugar, and salt. Add olive oil and warm water and mix until a dough forms.
2. 2Knead the dough for 5-7 minutes, until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let rise for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
3. 3While the dough is rising, prepare the topping. In a food processor, combine ground lamb, grated onion, diced red bell pepper, chopped tomato, minced garlic, parsley, red pepper paste, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Process until finely ground.
4. 4Preheat oven to about 230°C (230°C).
5. 5Divide the dough into 6 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a very thin circle.
6. 6Spread a thin layer of the ground meat mixture over each circle of dough.
7. 7Place the lahmacun on baking sheets and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the topping is cooked through.
8. 8Serve hot, garnished with lemon wedges and fresh parsley.
