Wished I had the photos for these. Another 50 year old recipe from our Armenia neighbor. I make these for parties even on the grill, can be main dish too. I also omit the lamb, and use ground turkey, ground beef or even omit beef and use the fragrant parsley tomato sauce with cheese instead. Read more . If you do instages it's not a hard recipe and it is very delicious Ingredients:

1/4 cup warm water |
or 1 cake compressed yeast crumbled in 1/4 cup lukewarm water |

6. Cover and let rise double in a warm place.

8. Mix all meat mixture ingredients together.
9. You will need to divde into about 12 portion or about 1/3 cup for each pizza
10. Punch down dough and divide into 12 pieces.
11. Cover and let sit 15 minutes, 2 inches aprt on floured surface
12. Roll out each piece to a 7 or 8 inch circle
