Lahmacun or Lahmajon is a Turkish-style "pizza" with meat. This recipe is really easy and delicious.
INGREDIENTS
For the dough:
4 cups (500 g) of flour
1 tablespoon of dry yeast
1 1/2 teaspoons of salt
2 tablespoons of olive oil
1 1/4 cups (300 ml) of lukewarm water
For the garnish:
450g minced beef
2 tomatoes, roughly chopped
1 green bell pepper, roughly chopped
1 red bell pepper, roughly chopped
1/2 red chili pepper, roughly chopped (optional)
3 tablespoons of tomato paste
1/2 bunch of parsley
1 onion, roughly chopped
3 cloves of garlic, roughly chopped
1 tablespoon of olive oil
2 teaspoons of salt
1 teaspoon of paprika
1 teaspoon of turmeric
1/2 teaspoon of cumin
Pine nuts (optional)
PREPARATION
1. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, yeast, and salt. Add the olive oil and water, and knead for 6-7 minutes. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface; knead with your hands until smooth.
2. Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let the dough rise until it has doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
3. Meanwhile, make the filling: place the chopped vegetables, olive oil, and spices in a food processor and blend. Transfer to a large bowl with the ground beef and mix well. Let stand for 10 to 15 minutes. Then drain off any excess liquid.
4. Preheat the oven to 210C.
5. Once the dough has risen, turn it out onto a floured surface and divide it into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece out into a very thin round or oval shape. Try to make each one as thin as possible.
6. Place 2 pieces of rolled dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
7. Spread the filling thinly on top of each pastry and sprinkle with pine nuts. Bake for about 10 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and the filling is cooked through.
8. While the first ones are in the oven, prepare two more. Serve hot.
A cup corresponds to 250 ml when I mention "cup" in my recipes. Here are two tables that will help you with your conversions if you don't have a cup!
