Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Lamb Pizza with Spices.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a sizzling 500°F (260°C) to create the perfect environment for your pizza.
Step 2
While the oven warms up, grab a bowl and mix together some sliced red onion, chopped cilantro, and a splash of fresh lemon juice.
Step 3
This vibrant mixture will add a refreshing touch to your finished dish, so set it aside for later.
Step 4
Next, dust a baking sheet with a light sprinkle of flour to keep your pizza dough from sticking.
Step 5
In a skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
Step 6
Once the oil is shimmering, add in the ground lamb.
Step 7
Use a wooden spoon to break it apart as it cooks, letting it brown for about 5 to 6 minutes until it’s nearly done.
Step 8
While the lamb is sizzling away, take your pizza dough and stretch it out on the floured baking sheet into a lovely oval shape.
Step 9
If it shrinks back, don’t worry—just let it rest for a minute and then give it another gentle stretch.
Step 10
Once your dough is looking good, pop it into the preheated oven for 5 to 7 minutes until it puffs up and is mostly cooked through.
Step 11
Now, it’s time to add some flavor! To the cooked lamb, stir in tomato paste, minced garlic, ground cinnamon, cumin, smoked paprika, kosher salt, and a pinch of red pepper flakes.
Step 12
Cook this fragrant mixture for another 1 to 2 minutes, allowing the spices to mingle beautifully.
Step 13
When your dough is ready, take it out of the oven and brush the top with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil.
Step 14
Spread the delicious lamb mixture evenly over the crust, making sure every bite is packed with flavor.
Step 15
Return the pizza to the oven for another 2 minutes, then switch on the broiler.
Step 16
Broil the pizza for about 2 to 3 minutes until the crust turns a gorgeous golden brown.
Step 17
Once it’s done, carefully transfer the pizza to a cutting board.
Step 18
Slice it into 8 pieces and top each slice with that zesty onion-cilantro mixture you prepared earlier.
Step 19
Serve it up and enjoy the delightful combination of flavors in every bite!.
