Spiced Lamb Pizza

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C).

Step 2

Mix onion, cilantro, and lemon juice together in a bowl; set aside. Dust a baking sheet with flour.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir lamb in the hot skillet until mostly cooked through, breaking into little pieces with the back of a wooden spoon, 5 to 6 minutes.

Step 4

While the lamb is cooking, stretch dough out onto the prepared baking sheet until you get an oval shape. Let rest for 1 minute, and stretch it again if it shrinks.

Step 5

Bake dough in the center of the preheated oven until puffy and mostly cooked, 5 to 7 minutes.

Step 6

Add tomato paste, garlic, cinnamon, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper flakes to the cooked lamb. Mix it all together and cook until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes.

Step 7

Remove dough from the oven and brush with remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add lamb mixture and evenly distribute over the crust.

Step 8

Return pizza to the oven and bake for 2 minutes. Turn on the broiler and broil until crust is golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes longer.

Step 9

Remove pizza from the oven. Transfer to a cutting board and cut into 8 pieces. Top with the onion-cilantro mixture.
