Preparation Steps
1
Preheat your oven to 430°F (220°C). Place the pizza dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Combine the cooked rice with the saffron threads and a drizzle of olive oil. This will give it a golden color and fragrant aroma.

Cut the cooked lamb into smaller pieces and season with salt and pepper.
4
Thinly slice the onion and carrot. Arrange them evenly over the pizza dough.
5
Spread the saffron-infused rice over the vegetables, then top evenly with the lamb.
6
Sprinkle with freshly chopped cilantro and drizzle with a little olive oil.
7
Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is crispy and the flavors have melded together.
8
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before slicing and serving.
