Ingredients

• All-purpose flour - 200 grams
• Water - 120 milliliters
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Ground lamb - 150 grams
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Ginger - 1 teaspoon, minced
• Spring onions - 2, finely chopped
• Red bell pepper - 1, diced
• Soy sauce - 1 tablespoon
• Cumin powder - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Mozzarella cheese - 100 grams, shredded
• Fresh coriander - a handful, chopped

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually add water while mixing to form a soft dough. Knead for about 5 minutes until smooth, then cover and let it rest for 15 minutes.
2. In a skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add minced garlic, ginger, and ground lamb, cooking until the lamb is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Stir in the diced red bell pepper, soy sauce, cumin, black pepper, and half of the chopped spring onions. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the peppers soften. Remove from heat.
4. Divide the rested dough into two equal balls. Roll each ball into a flat circle, about 20 cm in diameter, on a floured surface.
5. In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Place one flatbread in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until golden brown, then flip it over.
6. Spread half of the lamb mixture on top of the cooked flatbread, then sprinkle with half of the mozzarella cheese. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the cheese melts.
7. Transfer the flatbread pizza to a plate and repeat the process with the second ball of dough and remaining ingredients.
8. Garnish each pizza with the remaining spring onions and chopped coriander before serving.
