Method

  1. Heat oven to 220C/fan 200C/gas 7. Make the bread mix following pack instructions, then divide into two and roll out into large ovals. Transfer to a large, floured baking sheet.
  2. In a bowl, combine the onion, lamb, garlic, spices and yogurt, and season. Crumble over the dough almost to the edges, then scatter over the pine nuts. Bake for 15-18 mins until the bread is golden and crisp and the meat is browned. Sprinkle over the mint, then serve with a green leaf and tomato salad.
  3. FOR THE DOUGH: Mix together the flour, salt, sugar and yeast. Add the water and mix to a soft dough. Knead for 2 mins on a lightly floured surface, then roll out. Add the topping as above. Leave in a warm place to rise for 15 mins before serving.

    Made this recipe a few weeks ago and my boyfriend has been asking for it again ever since. I would reduce the amount of natural yogurt that you include as it can make the bread soggy, if the meat mixture is too wet.

    Made this and my kids loved it. Bit like pizza for them. Would add a bit of chilli next time for me and my partner though.

    Good for a weekend lunch. Used homemade dough that didn't really rise enough in the time stated so was a bit too crisp. Bought 500g of mince so made some mini burgers with cumin and an egg to bind. Grilled for 10 mins then froze. Hope to have in pittas for lunch tomorrow with some mint and yoghurt!

    I took SRWood's advice and reduced the amount of yogurt, (only used 1.1/4tbsp) and had no soggy bread! I also added some diced courgette and fresh tomato which worked really well.

    I love this recipe!! I enjoy making bread (did my own version) so finally my partner has benefited from home made piza whilst I have this 'healthier' version! The cumin/yoghurt/garlic topping was a revelation.

    Not the greatest - I found the meat quite bland and like another reviewer used home made dough and it didn't rise and was a bit tough. The kids turned their noses up too - although that's nothing unusual.

    Not blown away by this, despite adding extra garlic as recommended, also found it a bit greasy, definitely be better with lean lamb mince.

    This was very nice. If you made it and either your bread was tough, your meat was bland, or the whole thing was greasy, it's probably because you did it wrong, not a problem with the recipe. Either you didn't knead/prove the dough properly, you didn't season the meat mixture well enough, or you failed to notice that the recipe stipulates using lean mince.
