Falafel Dough Pizza

Shemoo Seif
"Falafel is one of the most popular foods in Egypt. It's made out of peeled beans and always served fried. It's also made in the Levant area (mainly Syria and Lebanon) using chickpeas.
In my recipe, I used red lentils and replaced the traditional cooking method (frying) with baking. Using lentils instead of beans to create an innovative recipe has been quite satisfying."

Very interesting and quite unique answer for flatbread. It's so easy to put together, too. As a pizza, it is tasty. It's best eaten with a fork because it remains a bit soft and pliable. I serve...
