INGREDIENTS 11
SERVINGS 4
Ingredients
300g (2 cups) plain flour
95g (1/3 cup) Greek-style yoghurt, plus extra, to serve
100ml olive oil
1 onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
600g minced lamb
2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
90g (1/3 cup) tomato paste
400g can chickpeas, rinsed, drained
Coriander leaves and lemon wedges, to serve
Method
Step 1
To make pizza dough, place flour and 1 tsp salt in a bowl. Make a well in the centre, pour in 125ml (1/2 cup) hot water, yoghurt and 2 tbs oil, and stir until mixture comes together. Turn dough out on a lightly floured surface and knead until just smooth. Form into a ball and wrap in plastic wrap. Set aside.
Step 2
Place 2 heavy-based oven trays in the oven and preheat to 220C.
Step 3
Heat remaining 60ml (1/4 cup) oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add onion, garlic and 1 1/2 tsp salt, and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes or until soft. Add lamb and cook, breaking up with a wooden spoon, for 3 minutes or until lightly browned. Add spices, tomato paste and 60ml (1/4 cup) water, and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes.
Step 4
Divide dough into 4. Roll out each portion to a 12cm x 30cm rectangle on individual floured sheets of baking paper. Spread one-quarter of lamb mixture over each pizza base and top with one-quarter of chickpeas. Slide 2 pizzas with baking paper onto each hot tray and bake for 10 minutes, swapping trays halfway, or until bases are crisp and browned.
Step 5
Top pizzas with large spoonfuls of extra yoghurt, scatter with coriander leaves and serve with lemon wedges.
Tip: Don't feel like making pizza dough? Substitute Turkish or pita bread, halved horizontally.
