Notes
- For best results, use Lamb, and always choose American Lamb!
- I always prefer my Homemade Best Pizza Dough as a base, however store-bought works too!
- Make sure your oven is at the right temperature to get the perfectly crispy Turkish Pizza.
- Process your ground beef or lamb along with the marinade until smooth. This helps you smear the mixture over the dough easily.
- Press the ground lamb mixture well in to the dough so it bakes and sticks.
- A pizza Stone is great to use here!
- Top your Turkish Pizza with fresh veggies and cheese to add texture, flavor and goodness!
- Serve the Lahmacun as a pizza or roll it in to a wrap like a classic Turkish version and eat it on the go!
