Ingredients
- ✓500 g all-purpose flour
- ✓200 ml warm water
- ✓100 g Greek yogurt
- ✓1 tsp salt
- ✓250 g ground lamb or beef (20% fat)
- ✓1 medium onion
- ✓1 small red bell pepper
- ✓1 medium fresh tomato
- ✓2 garlic cloves
- ✓1 tbsp tomato paste
- ✓1 tsp pul biber (red pepper flakes)
- ✓0.5 tsp ground cumin
Instructions
Combine flour, salt, yogurt, and water in a bowl to form a smooth dough, then knead for 5 minutes and let it rest in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.
💡 Tip: Resting the dough is essential to make it easy to roll out thin.
Pulse the meat, onion, peppers, tomato, garlic, and spices in a food processor until you reach a fine, spreadable consistency.
💡 Tip: Don't over-process into a complete liquid; keep a slight texture.
Divide the dough into four balls and roll each one out into a very thin circular sheet.
💡 Tip: Aim for 2-3mm thickness for the most authentic crispy result.
Spread the meat mixture thinly and evenly over the dough, ensuring you reach the edges.
💡 Tip: Use your fingers to press the meat into the dough for better adhesion.
Bake on a preheated tray at 230°C for 10–12 minutes on the lowest oven rack until the edges turn golden and crisp.
💡 Tip: Using a preheated baking stone or steel will yield the best crust.
