Lahmacun is a Turkish-inspired pizza with fine smoked to fu and smoky grilled peppers that reminds me of balmy summer evenings in my favorite city, Istanbul. Spicy, oriental and refined with delicious pink onions and fine parsley.
Lahmacun (Turkish pizza)
Lahmacun basically consists of two components, the dough and the delicious topping. The dough is a simple pizza dough, for which there are already some variants on this blog. I make it with fresh yeast, but it works just as well with dry yeast.
The topping is a mixture of onion, garlic cloves, jarred grilled peppers, fresh parsley, smoked tofu, tomato paste, olive oil, maple syrup, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, pepper and chili flakes to taste. This is all made into a fine measure, spread on the dough and then it’s off to the oven. After 12-15 minutes, the fine Turkish pizza is then ready.
Vegan Turkish recipes
I always like to think back to my numerous trips to Turkey and especially the hospitality. Soon it will be that time again, because a trip to Bodrum is still on the plan this year. I am really looking forward to the hospitality of the people, the good food and above all the sun (which is not to be seen in our country at the moment).
If you’re not in the mood for Turkish pizza today, but want a different variation of pizza, I recommend the following recipes:
- Pide with spinach and feta
- Pizza with ricotta and green asparagus (vegan)
- Tex Mex pizza with vegan mayo
- Simple vegan pizza
- Berbere spelt pizza with tahini dressing
- Pizza yoga with hummus and pumpkin
- Green Forest Pizza
- Pizza rolls with pesto and mushrooms
- Simple Pizza Mozzarella
- Crispy Tandoori Chickpea Pizza
