Total time: 70 min
Cuisine: Middle Eastern
Ingredients: 3 cups All-purpose flour; 1 cup Warm water; 1 tsp Active dry yeast; 1 tsp Sugar; 1 tsp Salt; 1 lb Ground lamb; 1, finely chopped Onion; 1/2, finely chopped Red bell pepper; 1, finely diced Tomato; 2, minced Garlic cloves; 1 tbsp Tomato paste; 1 tsp Cumin; 1 tsp Paprika; 1/2 tsp Red pepper flakes; 1/4 cup, chopped Fresh parsley; 2 tbsp Olive oil

1. For the dough: Dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water. Let sit 5-10 minutes until foamy. 2. In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and olive oil, mix until a dough forms. Knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth. Cover and let rise for 1-1.5 hours. 3. For the topping: In a bowl, combine ground lamb, onion, bell pepper, tomato, garlic, tomato paste, cumin, paprika, red pepper flakes, salt, pepper, and parsley. Mix well. 4. Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C) with a pizza stone or baking sheet inside. 5. Divide dough into 8-10 equal pieces. Roll each piece very thinly into an oval or round shape (about 8-10 inches). 6. Spread a thin layer of the lamb topping evenly over each dough piece, leaving a small border. 7. Carefully transfer a lahmacun to the hot pizza stone/baking sheet. Bake for 5-8 minutes, or until the edges are crispy and the topping is cooked. 8. Remove from oven, sprinkle with fresh lemon juice, and serve immediately, typically rolled up.
