I first had this ages ago, but it was called "Arabian pizza" and I still remember the flavour. I've been looking for a recipe for a few months and am so glad I found this.
Thanks!

Woooow i love this arabic pizza i used to make lahm bi ajun with minced lamb topping . I think i must try the others as well inshalla .
Thanks a lot for sharing it
What amazing flavors! I am definitely going to try this.
Great to see you posting again! I will make this recipe tomorrow for the Arabic people I work for. They have loved all the meals from this site. Thanks for the recipe!
I cannot put into words how amazing this looks. Very good job.
Stunning pictures!!
Hi, Zainab! I've tried making lahm bi ajin for years, and always had problems :(( as my filling would release a lot of liquid which made the pastry soggy. I don't cook the filling before baking (should I?). Must I put it on the dough at the very last moment? Should I put filling on a strainer to remove liquid from tomato before using? Thank you for your help.
Dear Zainab,
I've tried making lahm bi ajeen for years, and always had problems with the filling releasing too much liquid and making the crust soggy. I use uncooked filling on uncooked dough, is this correct? Should I put filling in strainer before using, to remove excess water from tomatoes? Should I put filling on dough at the very last moment before baking? Thank you for your help.
Dear Zainab,
I've been trying to make lahm bi ajeen for years, and always had problems with pastry becoming soggy due to excess liquid in filling. I use raw filling on raw dough (then bake, obviously). Should I drain filling on strainer before using? Should I put it on dough at the very last moment? Bake dough or cook filling before putting it all together? Any help will be welcome. Thanks!
Mashallah... you have a wonderful blog. I just love arabic food and will try your recipes.

Adriana in Brussels,
1)Maybe you used too much tomatoes before,you could try
my recipe because I used 1 Medium tomato for 250 g meat & that enough don't add more or your filling will release too much liquid(if that happen you could drain filling on strainer before using).
2)& yes raw filling on raw dough.
3)bake them as soon as you done shaping.
Hope this help,if you have any more question don't hesitate :)
Bergamot,
Thank you :D

OH MY GOD, not only does your Middle Eastern inspired pizza look amazing, but your photos are top notch! What a creative and amazing job. I would die for some of that right now!
Yum! I love the fact that there is whole wheat in the dough! I will definately make it!
This looks wonderful! What a great take on pizza.
It looks divine.
Hi Zainab and Meedo how are you both?
I love this recipe and it goes perfect with the beautiful fresh salad delicious! :D
This is absolutely new to me.Can I prepare it in a microwave, then can you please tell me what should be the time and heating effect for that?
Wow, this looks amazing! I wish I could have enjoyed this with you!
this looks fantastic zainab!
Thanks everyone. It's always good to get comments from you :D
Sudeshna,
I didn't try to bake in a microwave before & I don't recommended.
meeso,
I wish that too :X ,I bet we'll have so much fun ;)
zainab :D
This looks so good! But is there anyway to not have white flour in the dough? Health condition = only whole wheat allowed here. I've had to find alternative recipes for everything..
Mama Kalila,
you can substitute the white flour with whole wheat.
Actually I always bake with 100% whole wheat for my mom using my Bread recipes.
so all my Bread recipes work fine with:
1)100% white flour or.
2)50% white flour + 50 % whole wheat.
3)or 100% whole wheat flour.
Hope this help.
zainab :D
Thank you so much! I'm gonna have to work this into my menu at some point soon... :-D
astonishing blog and marvelous pictures.
