Lahmacun is often described as “Turkish pizza” but that really doesn’t do it justice. This Turkish street food is so much lighter, fresher and more flavoursome, with the addition of the delicious spiced meat and various fresh garnishes. Traditionally, lahmacun is cooked in a wood-fired oven, but making this in your home oven couldn’t be easier. I travel to turkiye quite alot and i have a lahmacun pretty much every day when im there!
In today’s video, I’m going to run you through how to make really good lahmacun at home, starting with a super quick and simple recipe for the dough, through to the spiced meat filling + all the garnishes.
The only special tools you need if you don’t have a pizza oven is a pizza stone or baking steel. This is what you need for the home oven method to get it super crisp! A pizza peel (those padel-shaped things you see chefs putting the pizza into the oven with) is also useful for placing the lahmacun onto the steel or stone.
