Spiced Lamb Pizza

01Method

1. 1

   Set the oven temperature to 500°F (260°C).

2. 2

   Combine the sliced onion, cilantro, and lemon juice in a bowl; set aside. Lightly dust a baking sheet with flour.

3. 3

   Warm 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the ground lamb and break it into small pieces with a wooden spoon, cooking until nearly done through, about 5 to 6 minutes.

4. 4

   While the lamb cooks, press and stretch the dough on the prepared sheet into an oval. Allow it to rest for 1 minute, then re-stretch if it springs back.

5. 5

   Place the shaped dough in the center of the oven and bake until it puffs up and is nearly cooked, 5 to 7 minutes.

6. 6

   Stir the tomato paste, garlic, cinnamon, cumin, paprika, salt, and red pepper flakes into the cooked lamb. Continue cooking until aromatic, 1 to 2 minutes.

7. 7

   Pull the dough from the oven and brush the surface with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Spread the lamb mixture evenly across the crust.

8. 8

   Return the pizza to the oven for 2 minutes, then switch on the broiler and broil until the crust turns golden brown, an additional 2 to 3 minutes.

9. 9

   Transfer the pizza to a cutting board, slice into 8 pieces, and finish with the cilantro-onion mixture on top.
