This delicious recipe brings back my wonderful memories of Istanbul, Turkey! Lahmajoun is a meat flatbread pizza. All the ingredients are ground up together and spread over a thin pizza base and baked till crispy. Cheese is not added typically to this pizza.

In Istanbul, you find people enjoying this as a snack or for lunch or dinner. This dough is made with milk so the base is extra crispy.
