We recommend making this pizza using our Naan Pizza Crust, but it is just as delicious using traditional pizza dough.

Ingredients
- ½ recipe Naan Pizza Crust (page 13)
- ½ pound ground lamb
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon ground cumin
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon harissa paste
- 1 tablespoon ketchup
- 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
- unbleached all-purpose flour, for dusting
- ¼ medium red onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons crumbled feta
- ⅓ cup fresh parsley leaves
- 1½ tablespoons fresh mint leaves, torn
Preparation
- 1. Preheat the pizza oven with the pizza stone on the rack to 500°F.
- 2. In a large bowl, combine ground lamb, cinnamon, paprika, onion
- powder, garlic powder, cumin, salt, harissa, and ketchup.
- 3. Heat the oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add
- the lamb mixture and cook until the meat is no longer pink.
- Remove the pan from the heat and set aside.
- 4. Stretch the dough to a 10- to 12-inch round round.
- 5. Transfer the dough to the pizza peel generously dusted with flour.
- 6. Spread the cooked lamb over the dough, leaving a 1-inch
- border. Scatter the onion over the lamb.
- 7. Gently shimmy the pizza on the peel to ensure it isn’t sticking.
- If the dough is sticking, gently lift the dough and spread
- additional flour underneath.
- 8. Set the timer for 5 minutes. Slide the pizza off the peel and
- onto the pizza stone. Start the timer. When the timer sounds,
- check the pizza. If baked to desired doneness, use the peel
- to remove the pizza from the oven, or bake for about 1 more
- minute. Slide the pizza onto a cutting board.
- 9. Garnish with the feta, parsley, and mint. Slice and serve.
