Middle Eastern Lamb Pizza

To make the dough, in a mixing bowl, dissolve the yeast into water. Using a stand mixer, combine flour and salt in the stand mixer bowl with a hook attachment. Commence on a low speed, and add the water slowly. Increase the speed slightly and allow to mix until smooth. This should take about 5-8 minutes. Cut dough into 120g balls and place on a floured tray. Cover and allow them to prove in a warm place until they are double their size, about 20-30 minutes. Meanwhile, combine remaining ingredients in a bowl, mix well and place through a mincer with the smallest dial available. Keep refrigerated until required. When the dough has proved, on a floured bench and using a rolling pin, flatten the balls of dough in an oval shape to 2mm thickness.  Shape into boat shapes and pinch the edges. When assembling the pizzas, add enough lamb mix to just cover the surface.  Repeat this process with all the dough. Preheat oven and pizza stone to 200C. Cook pizza for 10 minutes until crisp on the bases. Drizzle with pomegranate molasses, scatter over mint and coriander and serve.
