    The perfect homemade lahmacun,
    Today I want to make you Turkey’s number one street food and take away - a thin layer of tasty meat on bread which is crunchy and bendy at the same time. They married to become the flawless lahmacun. It should definitely be on your bucket list!
    Servings: 4
    Difficulty: easy
    Prep time: 10- 20 minutes
    Cooking time: 2 minutes
    For the dough, (makes 9 lahmacuns)
    300 gr all purpose flour (2 cups)
    1,5 teaspoons instant yeast
    ½ teaspoon sugar
    180 ml water (3/4 cup)
    1 heaped teaspoon salt
    or skip the dough and use 8-9 lavash breads as the base
    For the meat mixture,
    200 gr minced meat, half beef half lamb (you can use just lamb, beef or chicken as well. Add half a teaspoon of butter if using just beef. Add cumin, tomato paste and pepper paste to flavour if just using chicken.)
    1,5 onions
    2 cloves of garlic
    50 gr sucuk (or any cured meat such as chorizo, salchica, pepperoni, mortadella, pastrami, pancetta or bresaola)
    8 tablespoons homemade tomato puree, (6 tablespoons if store-bought, alternatively, use a grated tomato with a teaspoon of tomato paste)
    12 sprigs of parsley, chopped
    1 teaspoon yogurt
    1 teaspoon salt
    1 teaspoon black pepper
    1 teaspoon hot red pepper flakes
    1 teaspoon isot (any smoked pepper works like paprika or even fresh hot chilli)
    • Preheat the oven on upper and lower heat, without fan to its maximum heat, around 280C (536F) is fine. Place a pizza stone or baking steel on the bottom of the oven. You can use the back of a cast iron pan as well.
    • To make the dough, mix the flour, yeast, sugar, water, and the salt in a bowl and knead for 2 minutes.
    • When the dough becomes smooth and less sticky, cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for about 10 minutes in a warm place.
    • Meanwhile, for the meat mixture, pulse the onions, garlic and sucuk in a food processor until they become a paste or grate the onions and garlic if you are not using cured meat. Cured meat helps enhance the flavour because it is aged and fermented.
    • Mix the paste, minced meat, tomato puree, yogurt, salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes, and the isot. If the mixture isn’t juicy enough, add a couple of teaspoons of water to spread the mixture easier.
    • Add in the parsley and give it a last mix.
    • To make the dough, divide the dough into 9 equal balls. Dust the work surface and the rolling pin with flour and roll out the balls around 30 cm (12 in). Place the dough on a peel and remove the excess flour. Spread a heaped tablespoon of mixture on the dough and slide the lahmacun onto the hot stones in the oven. Bake for about 2 minutes and repeat with the rest.
    • To make with lavash, heat a pan around a minute and place the lavash in it. Spread a heaped tablespoon of the meat mixture on the lavash and cook it around a minute. Then, transfer the pan to the oven’s top shelf and bake for 2-3 minutes.
    • To enjoy the lahmacun at its best, thinly slice a red onion and mix it with sumac and olive oil. Place the onions on lahmacun with parsley, squeeze some lemon and roll it. If you also have a glass of ayran then it is a perfect feast!

    I'm from India, but I live in Munich, Germany now. "Turkish" takeaways are everywhere and cheap here and some of them have really good döner. But all the Lahmacun at these joints is pre-cooked. I had lahmacun at Halil in Kadiköy and it blew my mind. They were making it fresh by order and serving to the table piping hot, straight out of the oven. I will never have the pre-cooked version after that. I was supposed to be in Istanbul again in April, but of course that didn't happen. But whenever I'm back, the lahmacun at Halil and the Adana Kebab roll at Dürümzade are some of the first foods I will eat.
    Thanks for the recipe. I somehow never thought of making lahmacun at home, but it looks relatively straightforward. This should make for a great dinner party.

    So... I have wanted to try turkish Pizza since forever. I was discussing it in a forum unrelated to food, and learned Turkish Pizza is really called Lahmacun. Then the next day you dropped this video!
    I have been subscribing here in Oregon for maybe 2 or 3 months.
    This was the first meal of yours I have made. It was amazing. Thank you for showing this technique for making in my home! I even made my own dough! I could not get as thin as yours but was also my first attempt.
    Cheers!

    Hi Refika! Thank you for your amazing recipes. I'm Greek living in Scotland and love Turkish food since it's very close to greek food and it reminds me of home. The best lahmacun I had was in Berlin , where some Turkish grandmas were cooking it on some kind of spherical oven. I've never had a lahmacun in Turkey although I've been many times. I'll save it for next time I come :)

You always put that bit of love and just the right ingredients to authentic Turkish food. All my love and gratefulness.

There is a Turkish supermarket in Manchester (UK) that sells them hot and freshly made and we always have one when we go there. She also showed me proper Döner.

      I AM TOO!! and turkish gal living in turkey. i use something called soy minced meat. its very thin almost like breadcrumbs when you add how water it absorbs and pretty much looks and feels like meat. i sometimes put soy sauce too (even if theres tomato in the mixture) to give it some umami. i put my garlic in a rich manner because i always liked the taste and when theresnt meat i like the taste even more. or maybe if you dont want to add soy sauce just use a good tomato paste. then the rest is all same. and refika says when you freeze meat it gets drier but this one doesnt because that substitute is pretty spongy in the first place it soaks the water up. and i do this in bulk and put in the freezer in batches for 2 lahmacun each. in like ziplocks or something like that. when i want it i take it out of the freezer and i go to my bakery they already have good dough with yeast and a good hot oven, so i ask them to make the base and cook it for me, they do that for 2 liras or something like that for me. which is almost free. but if you dont have that comfort believe me that dough is so easy to make. i just eat this as a snack sometimes. i literlly eat it as hangover pizza. so its more conveniet for me that way. but you can do it too.
