Instructions

Make the Dough:

Place the flour, water, egg, and salt in a stand mixer bowl and knead using a hook attachment until it's smooth.
Cover the dough with a kitchen towel and let it rest for about 45 mins.

Prepare the Filling:

Mix the ground beef with the onion, black pepper, salt, and chili flakes in a separate bowl. Set aside.

Prepare the Yogurt Topping:

Mix the yogurt with the water, salt and garlic in a bowl. Set aside.

Shape the Manti:

Roll the dough out thinly on a floured surface and cut into small 1/2 inch squares.
Put a pea-sized amount of beef mixture in the center of each square.
Fold the edges from the corners inwards, meeting at the center, and press with your fingertips to obtain a pouch-like shape.

Cook the Manti:

Put the manti inbatches into boiling water. Cook until the manti in batches until they float to the surface, around 4-5 minutes. Then, take them out with a slotted spoon and place them on a serving plate.
