Instructions
- 1 Make lamb sauce: Combine onion, parsley, bell peppers, basil, mint, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, paprika, coriander seed, and cumin. Pulse until vegetables are finely chopped. Add tomatoes and process until mixture is a thick puree.
- 2 Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add lamb, pureed vegetable mixture, and tomato paste; mix well. Cook and stir until lamb is cooked through, 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in cayenne pepper and salt to taste. Transfer mixture to a shallow baking dish to cool to room temperature. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate, 8 hours to overnight.
- 3 Make dough: Dissolve yeast and sugar in 1 cup warm water. Combine flour and salt in a large bowl and stir well. Add 1/2 cup water and oil to yeast mixture and pour over flour mixture. Use your hands to mix dough. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes.
- 4 Shape dough into a ball and transfer to an oiled bowl. Cover with a wet towel and let rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour. Remove lamb sauce from the refrigerator and allow to come up to room temperature.
- 5 Meanwhile, make garlic sauce: Combine yogurt, parsley, and garlic in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Stir well and set aside.
- 6 Punch dough down, transfer it to a floured work surface, and cut into 10 portions. Shape each portion into a round. Flatten each round with your hand; use a rolling pin to roll each piece into a 10-inch circle. The dough should be thin, like a crepe. Place the rounds on parchment paper.
- 7 Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- 8 Stir lamb sauce and spoon it onto a dough round. Spread it thinly to the edges and press down lightly so it sticks. Place on the prepared baking sheets.
- 9 Bake pizzas on the lowest oven rack in the preheated oven until the edges are a light tan color, 8 to 10 minutes. Place on a wire rack to cool. The pizzas can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 days or in the freezer for 3 months. To reheat, place pizzas in a 350 degrees F oven (175 degrees C) for 8 minutes.
- 10 Assemble lahmacun: Drizzle pizzas with garlic sauce, top with shredded cabbage, and roll up to eat.
