Nothing beats the smell of a freshly baked dough in the morning, even more so when it’s flaky and stuffed with a mix of ground meat, tomato, and onions. Call it lahm b ajin or lahmajoon, or just meat flatbread. Would you eat meat for breakfast? Absolutely YES!
This is a traditional Lebanese street food, that you can find anywhere. The flat bread is typically filled with zaatar (thyme), cheese, or meat.
It is best enjoyed with a side of yogurt or laban ayran / doogh (yogurt drink that you can make with 1 cup of 3% yogurt, 1/2 cup water, salt and dried mint to taste) .
This recipe assumes the dough is ready.
