Cooking method:
- First, prepare the dough. Add sugar and yeast to the warm water, stir and leave for 10-15 minutes to activate the yeast.
- Pour the flour into a large bowl, add salt and vegetable oil. Then add the water with yeast and knead the dough. It should be soft and elastic. Leave the dough under a food film for 1-2 hours in a warm place to rise.
- While the dough is rising, prepare the topping. Finely chop the vegetables and herbs, add the minced meat, spices, and salt. Mix well.
- When the dough has risen, divide it into equal parts (about 10-12 pieces). Roll out each part into a very thin flatbread.
- Apply the topping to each flatbread, evenly distributing it over the surface, leaving small edges.
- Bake the lahmacun in an oven preheated to 200 degrees for about 10-15 minutes.
