Lahmacun Pide

Recipe Description

Lahmacun Pide is a thin piece of dough topped with minced meat, vegetables and herbs and spices, then baked. It is kind of like a delicious Turkish pizza with totally unique flavors spread over a delicious pillowy dough base. 

I start lahmacun pide by making a dough from water, yeast, sugar, salt, flour and vegetable oil. Then I make a meat and vegetable filling which I spread on top of the dough like a pizza. Bake in the oven and there you have it. A delicious alternative to pizza. 

To make my Lahmacun Pide, you will need the following ingredients:
