Lahmacun or turkish pizza is a seasoned meat flatbread popular at Döner shops throughout Germany. I adjusted mine for American ingredients and I use ground beef and bacon for mine. The result is addictive!

Combine the lukewarm water and yeast and allow to bubble up for about 5 minutes. Add other dough ingredients and knead until smooth and elastic. Cover up and allow to rest in a warm spot for 30ish minutes.

Preheat Your Oven
In the meantime, preheat your oven (with pizza stone if you have one) to 400° Fahrenheit (or 200° Celsius). If you would like to bake more than 1 pizza at a time, you can simply bake them on baking sheets prepped with parchment paper instead.
Prepare Meat Topping
Blend together all meat topping ingredients other than the ground meat. You could also use a food processor if you have one. Then add in the ground beef. Set aside.

Remove core of white cabbage and any wilted leaves. Slice thin and marinate with some oil, vinegar, a little sugar and salt and pepper. Set aside and stir occasionally. Prep all other toppings (I thinly sliced the sweet pepper), marinated and set aside.

Bake and Assemble Turkish Pizza
Spread about 3 Tablespoons of meat topping on each rolled out flatbread and bake for about 12 minutes or until the meat is starting to brown and crust is turning golden. Remove from oven and top with sauce, cheese-vegetable salad and marinated cabbage. Top off with a pepperoncini pepper when serving (optional, but they're not very spicy). Make it spicy by adding some sambal! Guten Appetit!
