Method

Restated from the original video

1. 1

   Combine the flour, yeast, sugar and 1 tsp salt. Pour in the water and olive oil and knead until smooth and elastic, 5-8 min.

2. 2

   Cover and leave in a warm place until almost doubled, about 1 hour.

3. 3

   For the topping, chop the onion, tomato, pepper, garlic and half the parsley very finely by hand or in short pulses of a food processor. Press the mix in a sieve to drain off the juice.

4. 4

   Combine the drained vegetables with the lamb, tomato paste, pepper paste, Aleppo pepper, cumin, black pepper and remaining 1 tsp salt. Knead until it forms a soft, spreadable paste.

5. 5

   Put a pizza stone or heavy upturned baking tray in the oven and heat to 250 °C (480 °F) for at least 30 min.

6. 6

   Divide the dough into 6 balls, cover and rest for 10 min.

7. 7

   On a floured surface, roll one ball into a very thin oval or round about 25 cm across.

8. 8

   Spread a sixth of the topping over it in a thin layer, pressing it right into the dough and leaving a 1 cm border.

9. 9

   Slide it onto the hot stone and bake until the edges are crisp and browned and the meat is cooked through, 5-7 min.

10. 10

    Stack the baked lahmacun on a plate under a towel to keep them soft while you bake the rest.

11. 11

    Serve with the remaining parsley and lemon wedges to squeeze over, then roll up to eat.
