Authentic Turkish Lahmacun Recipe for Dinner

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup warm water
  • 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 200 grams ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 1 medium bell pepper, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • fresh parsley to taste chopped

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Prepare the Dough

    In a bowl, mix the flour, salt, sugar, and yeast. Gradually add warm water and knead until smooth.

    Let the dough rest for at least 30 minutes for better texture.
  2. Make the Filling

    In a skillet, sauté onions and garlic until soft. Add ground beef, bell pepper, and spices, cooking until beef is browned.

    Ensure beef is well cooked for best flavor.
  3. Prepare the Lahmacun Base

    Roll out the dough into thin circles. Place the filling evenly on each circle.

    Keep the filling thin to ensure even cooking.
  4. Bake the Lahmacun

    Preheat the oven to 220°C (428°F). Place the lahmacun on a baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes.

    Watch closely to prevent burning.
  5. Serve

    Remove from oven, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve hot.

    Serve with lemon wedges for added flavor.
