• Base: 250g flour, 5g yeast, 150ml warm water, ½ tsp salt
• 200g lamb mince
• 1 onion, 1 tomato, 1 red pepper, all blitzed to a paste
• 1 tbsp tomato paste
• 1 tsp pul biber, ½ tsp cumin
• parsley and lemon to serve

👩‍🍳 Method

1. Make a soft dough, knead 5 min and leave 30 min.
2. Blitz the vegetables to a rough paste, then squeeze out as much liquid as you can. Wet topping means soggy base.
3. Mix with the mince, tomato paste and spices.
4. Roll the dough as thin as you physically can — lahmacun should be almost translucent.
5. Spread the meat in a very thin layer right to the edges. Thin is the entire discipline of this dish.
6. Bake at the highest temperature your oven does, on a preheated tray, 6–8 min. Parsley, lemon, roll it up.
