For the topping:
- 6 tbsp. l. olive oil
- 1/2 cup pine nuts
- 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
- 1/2 cup finely chopped red bell pepper
- 6 tablespoons tomato paste
- 450 g of ground lamb or beef
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp. red flakes pepper
- 1/4 tsp ground allspice
- Coarse salt
- 2 plum tomatoes, chop finely
- 1/4 cup natural yogurt
- 2 tsp freshly squeezed lemon juice

For the sauce:

Preparation:
- Make the dough: Dissolve the yeast in 2 cups of warm water with sugar and olive oil; let sit for 5 minutes. Combine both types of flour and salt in a large bowl. Add the dissolved yeast to the flour mixture and stir with a fork until a dough forms.
Turn the dough out onto a floured work surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 6 minutes. Transfer the dough to a bowl greased with olive oil, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, until the dough has doubled in size.
- Knead the dough with your hands and divide it into 12 pieces. Roll each piece into a ball, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 45 minutes.
- Meanwhile, prepare the topping: Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add pine nuts, onion, and bell pepper; cook, stirring, until softened, about 6 minutes.
Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1 minute. Add the remaining 1/4 cup olive oil, ground lamb, cumin, cinnamon, red pepper flakes, allspice, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook, breaking up the lamb with a spatula, until the ground lamb is browned, 5 minutes.
Stir in the tomatoes and cook for 1 minute. Remove from the heat and stir in the yogurt, lemon juice, cilantro, and parsley; add salt to taste.
- Prepare the sauce: Combine yogurt, mint, lemon juice, and 1/4 cup water in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Refrigerate until ready to use.
- Preheat an electric grill to medium heat. Cut 12 sheets of parchment paper, each 9 inches (23 cm) square. Using your hands, shape each piece of dough into a 8-inch (20 cm) circle, brushing both sides of each piece with olive oil and stacking them, alternating layers of parchment paper.
- Grill the dough layers, one at a time, without parchment paper, on a preheated grill until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Then flip them over and spread 1/4 cup of the lamb mixture on each layer, leaving a small border on all sides.
Continue cooking the pizzas until the dough is completely cooked through, about 3 minutes. Place the pizzas on a serving platter. Drizzle with olive oil and serve with the sauce.
