INGREDIENTS
 

Dough:

  • 4 cups/500 grams all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon/10 grams dry yeast
  • 3 tablespoons/40 grams sugar
  • 3 tablespoons/40 grams olive oil
  • 1 1/4 cups/310 milliliters lukewarm water
  • 1 teaspoon/5 grams salt

Meat Mixture:

  • 14 ounces/400 grams beef + 3.5 ounces/100 grams lamb fat
  • 2 medium onions, halved
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 4 very ripe tomatoes, halved
  • 1 bunch parsley
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon ras el hanout
  • 1 teaspoon paprika

Toppings (optional):

  • Sumac onion salad and raw tahini

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Make the dough by combining flour, yeast, sugar, olive oil, water, and salt in a stand mixer. Knead with a dough hook until smooth and elastic, about 7 minutes. Transfer to a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let rise at room temperature until doubled in size, 45–60 minutes.
  • For the meat mixture, pulse onions, garlic, tomatoes, and parsley in a food processor until finely chopped. Transfer to a bowl with ground meat and spices and mix by hand until fully combined. Refrigerate until ready to assemble.
  • Roll the risen dough on a floured surface into a thin sheet and cut into 5–6 inch/12–15 cm circles. Mini lahmajun work well too. Place dough circles on a parchment-lined baking sheet and evenly spread the meat mixture on top.
  • Preheat the oven to 200°C/390°F, convection. Bake until the meat is browned, 10–12 minutes. Switch to broil/grill for 5 minutes to achieve light charring. Remove from the oven, top with sumac onion salad and a drizzle of raw tahini, and serve immediately.
