Turkish pizza or “Lahmacun” is a pita bread, vegan and gluten free, stuffed with beef or lamb, tomatoes and onions.My interpretation of this dish focuses mainly on pita bread, the technique and the consistency of the dough are different from traditional yeast dough, and I modified the ingredients and add the carrots and cauliflower. Cauliflower unfortunately is not loved by all, this pizza and a previous recipe the “Indian spicy patty” I believe can increase the admirers of this important and valuable vegetable that belongs to the family of cruciferous vegetables.
Crucifers or brasicacee are useful to prevent a significant amount of noise, here you will find information about their nutritional and medicinal properties.
