Köytad Turkish pizza 3x Lahmacun 540g

Turkish lahmacun is made from wheat dough, which is spread with a thin layer of ground meat and baked briefly in a super-hot, preferably wood-fired oven. The meat can be either lamb or beef, and it is traditionally ground into a chunky paste with minced vegetables and herbs including chili peppers, onions, tomatoes, parsley, and seasonings like pepper, paprika, cumin, and cinnamon.

Lahmacun existed for thousands of years, and the dishes consisting of dough with a meat topping can be traced to the early Levantine cuisine of Syria. In Turkey, lahmacun is traditionally-prepared according to two variations of the recipe according to the regional Turkish cuisines of Urfa and Antep: the Urfa variant includes onion, whereas the Antep version uses garlic. Over the past few decades, lahmacun has become increasingly popular, not only in Turkey but also in Armenia, Cyprus, Iraq, Lebanon, and in its motherland of Syria.
