Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground beef
- 1 large Onion
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1/2 tsp Black pepper
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tsp Yeast
- 1 cup Water
Method
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) with a baking stone inside, if available, to ensure a crispy crust.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 2 minutes, then add the onion and cook stirring occasionally until golden-brown, 6–8 minutes.
- Add the garlic, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the skillet and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, yeast, and a pinch of salt, then gradually add the water, mixing until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5–7 minutes, until smooth and elastic, then divide into 4 equal pieces.
- Roll out each piece into a thin circle, about 1/8 inch thick, and top with the beef mixture, leaving a 1/2 inch border around the edges.
- Fold the edges over the filling to form a crust, and brush the tops with a little water.
- Place the lahmajoun on the preheated baking stone and bake for 15–20 minutes, until the crust is golden-brown and the filling is cooked through.
- Remove the lahmajoun from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
- Serve the lahmajoun hot, garnished with fresh herbs, if desired.
- To store, wrap the lahmajoun tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil and refrigerate for up to 24 hours, or freeze for up to 2 months.
