Ingredients
For the dough
- 2 cups of all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1 ½ tsp cane sugar
- 2 tsp dried instant yeast
- 1 cup of lukewarm water
For the meat mixture
- ½ pound ground beef or lamb
- ⅓ cup small-diced red bell pepper packed
- ½ cup small-diced onion lightly packed
- ⅓ cup finely chopped parsley lightly packed
- 2 cloves garlic finely chopped
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- ½ tsp dried mint
- 1 tsp cumin
- ½ tsp kosher salt do not use iodized
- ¼ tsp ground black pepper
- 2 tbsp Turkish red pepper paste scraped and leveled
- ⅔ cup of water
- ½ tsp kosher salt
Instructions
MAKE THE DOUGH
- In a large mixing bowl, add the flour, salt, sugar, and yeast. Mix well to incorporate the ingredients. Next, add the lukewarm water a little at a time. Mix and knead until a ball of dough forms. When ready, transfer the dough to a floured hard surface. Dust addition flour on top of the dough, and on your hands. Knead for five-minutes straight.
- When ready, cover the bowl with a cloth or saran wrap and store at room temperature for one hour or until the dough doubled in size. While that is rising, let's make the seasoned meat mixture.
SEASONED MEAT MIXTURE
- In a large bowl, add all of the ingredients. Mix well with YOUR HANDS for 5-minutes straight. You know the mixture is ready once it starts to perfume oniony, garlicky, goodness. Set aside until you are ready to work with your dough.
PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER
- Preheat the oven to 500 °F
- Get the proofed dough and cut it into 6 even pieces. Flour a hard surface. You will work with one piece of dough at a time. Flour your hands, a rolling pin, and add a little sprinkle to the top of the dough. Roll out the dough to a thin circle. Roll slowly. Be patient. I like to roll the edges flat as well. Once again, this is not a pizza, there is no need to make the edges puffy.
- Now that the lahmacun shape is created, dust off any excess flour that is left on the dough. Transfer the dough to a nonstick baking sheet pan. Make sure to spread out the dough evenly on the pan. Do not use parchment paper. It will burn.
- Next, add 4 tbsp of the meat mixture to the top. Spread out the mixture with your fingertips. Do not press hard. Do not create holes. I like to bring the mixture to the edges. I even wet the spot with meat juices where the meat can't reach. This will create nice golden edges.
- Transfer the lahmacun into the preheated oven and cook for 6-8 minutes. Do not open the oven once it's in there. Turn on your oven light and have a peek there.
- Once baked, transfer to a heat-safe serving tray. I used my pizza stone or use another nonstick baking sheet.
- Repeat each step until you have finished making all six lahmacuns.
TO SERVE
- Serve with onion salad, additional sprigs of parsley, and lemon wedges.
Notes
- Do you have a dark nonstick baking sheet? If so, reduce the oven to 475 °F
- Is the dough too sticky to handle? Add more flour as needed.
- Do I have to let the dough rest? Yes.
- You can use ground beef or lamb as a part of the meat mixture.
- This recipe contains halal beef.
