Ingredients

• 2 cups Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour
• 3/4 cup Warm Water
• 3 tablespoons Olive Oil
• 2 teaspoons Instant Yeast
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Sugar
• 1 pound Ground Beef
• 1 medium, finely chopped Red Onion
• 2 tablespoons Tomato Paste
• 1 small, finely chopped Red Bell Pepper
• 1/4 cup, finely chopped Fresh Parsley
• 1 teaspoon Ground Cumin
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon Crushed Red Pepper Flakes

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, instant yeast, salt, and sugar.

Step 2

Add the warm water and olive oil into the dry ingredients, mixing them until a smooth dough forms.

Step 3

Cover the dough with a clean kitchen towel and let it rest for about 15-20 minutes in a warm place until slightly risen.

Step 4

Meanwhile, prepare the topping. In a separate bowl, mix the ground beef, chopped red onion, tomato paste, chopped red bell pepper, parsley, cumin, paprika, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes.

Step 5

Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 6

Divide the dough into four equal portions. On a lightly floured surface, roll out each piece of dough into a thin circle about 8-10 inches in diameter.

Step 7

Spread a generous amount of the meat mixture over each rolled-out dough, pressing lightly so it adheres.

Step 8

Place the prepared lahmajuns on the baking sheets and bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes or until the edges are crispy and the topping is cooked through.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly on a wire rack before serving warm with lemon wedges or a fresh salad.
