Directions

This Turkish pastry dish maybe one of the best appetizers out there.
I was lucky to eat Lahmajun a few times in Turkey.

This version is a bit different, it’s more like a Lahmajun style pizza but it’s damn good.
The main difference is that we won’t mince the meat to paste but use regular minced meat.

For this Lahmajun recipe please first follow the multipurpose dough recipe

Steps

1 Done	Flatten the Dough Prepare the multipurpose dough (link to recipe above). Cut the dough to 10 even balls. Place each ball on a dry lightly dusted surface and press into a flat disc using a rolling pin. * If you want to make smaller or bigger Lahmajun cut to more/less balls.
2 Done	Make the Topping In a mixing bowl, combine all topping ingredients and mix for a couple of minutes. It resemble a salad. Spread the tomato sauce on each flatten dough disc. Spread the topping mix on each disc slightly pressing it into the dough. Don't press to much. You may drizzle some olive oil (about a tablespoon to each Lahmajun) before baking. * If you can find and add red pepper sauce (not necessarily spicy) it would upgrade the dish (mix with tomato sause . * Instead of tomato sauce you may use tomato paste diluted with a bit of water. * Now would be a good time to preheat the oven to whatever is the highest temperature. In my case it's 275°C/530°F.
3 Done	Baking Place about 2-3 Lahmajun in a baking sheet covered with backing paper. Place in the preheated oven (to whatever is the highest temperature. In my case it's 275°C/530°F) for 10-13 minutes. That is it!
