Spiced Lamb Pizza image

This delicious recipe was inspired by Bon Appetit's Spicy Lamb Pizza but I found that I made many, many modifications. This is why I've decided to write my own!

Time 36m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 14

½ medium red onion, thinly sliced
¼ cup roughly chopped fresh cilantro
½ medium lemon, juiced
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour, or as needed
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 pound ground lamb
1 (16 ounce) package pizza dough, at room temperature
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
1 tablespoon chopped fresh garlic, or more to taste
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C).
  • Mix onion, cilantro, and lemon juice together in a bowl; set aside. Dust a baking sheet with flour.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Bake dough in the center of the preheated oven until puffy and mostly cooked, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • 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.
  • Remove dough from the oven and brush with remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add lamb mixture and evenly distribute over the crust.
  • 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.
  • Remove pizza from the oven. Transfer to a cutting board and cut into 8 pieces. Top with the onion-cilantro mixture.
