Instructions
Preparing the Dough
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt.
- Add the water and egg, and knead the dough until it becomes smooth and elastic.
- You can also use a food processor or a stand mixer to make the dough.
- Cover the dough with a damp towel and set aside for 30 minutes.
Preparing the Meat Filling
- Because Turkish manti dumplings are traditionally very small in size, I suggest you grate the onions instead of chopping them to ensure they are evenly distributed in the filling.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the ground beef (or lamb), grated onion, salt, black pepper, and chili (or paprika).
Shaping the Dumplings
- Divide the dough into 2 equal pieces and turn them into balls.
- On a floured surface, roll out one of the dough balls into a circle as thin as you can, approximately 45 cm (18 ") in diameter. Keep the other dough ball covered to prevent it from drying out.
- You can roll the dough out using a pasta machine if you have one. It will make the process much quicker.
- Cut the dough into 3 cm (1 ") squares using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter.
- Place a small amount of the meat mixture (roughly half the size of a chickpea) in the center of each square.
- Pull up the four corners of the dough around the filling, pressing the four seams firmly between your fingers to seal them shut.
- Place the dumplings on a generously floured baking sheet to prevent them from sticking together.
Cooking and Serving Manti
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over medium heat.
- Add the dumplings to the boiling water and cook for about 12-15 minutes, or until they float to the surface.
- In a small saucepan, melt the butter and stir in the tomato paste, chili, sumac, and dried mint.
- To loosen the sauce, add 100 ml of water and cook for 1-2 more minutes, stirring occasionally.
- In a separate bowl, mix together yogurt, garlic paste, and a pinch of salt.
- When serving the Manti, pour some yogurt over the dumplings and drizzle a generous amount of tomato sauce on top just before serving.
- Sprinkle with additional sumac and dried mint for extra flavor.

Notes
- To achieve the desired thinness and evenness, roll the dough using a thin rolling pin called an oklava or a pasta machine.
- Grate the onions instead of chopping them to ensure they are evenly distributed in the filling.
- Use ground beef or lamb that has a good fat content to ensure that the filling is juicy and flavorful.
- Place the dumplings on a generously floured tray or baking sheet to prevent them from sticking together.
- Cook the dumplings in a large pot filled with plenty of boiling, salted water.
