Ingredients
    For the stuffing:
  • 2 red peppers
  • 3 green peppers
  • 2 onions (medium-sized)
  • 1 bunch parsley
  • 2 tomatoes
  • 1 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 tbsp pepper paste
  • 1/2 tsp chili pepper
  • 1 tsp powdered red pepper
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp oil
  • 1/4 tsp water
  • 500 g fatty ground beef
    • For the dough:
  • 5 cups flour
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp granulated sugar
Instructions
  1. Add red peppers, green peppers, onions and tomatoes to the food processor.
  2. Blend until completely pureed.
  3. Add parsley and blend for another 10 seconds.
  4. Add tomato paste, pepper paste, oil and water. Finally, add the minced meat and knead well. For the lahmacun to be delicious, your filling should be runny. If it is not runny enough, you can add some water.
  5. If you have time, let the filling rest in the refrigerator for a while.
  6. While your filling is resting, start making your dough. Pour the water into a bowl, add salt and sugar and mix well. Add flour little by little. Knead until it reaches medium hardness.
  7. Shape the dough into a cylinder and divide it into equal pieces. In order to make lahmacuns of the same size, the weight of your dough should be equal. Let the dough rest for a while.
  8. Roll out the dough to the size of a dinner plate. It is important to roll it as thin as possible. Meanwhile, turn on your oven to 250 degrees with fan and top and bottom open. Heat it well.
  9. Spread the minced meat mixture on the dough you have rolled out. Place it on the bottom of the oven with greaseproof paper and bake for 7-10 minutes until the bottom is golden brown.
  10. Serve with sumac onion, parsley and plenty of lemon.

  11. Your traditional homemade Lahmacun is ready. Afiyet Olsun!
