• Meat Mix:

  • Ground Lamb (1/2lb)

  • Italian Parsley (1/3 Cup, Chopped)

  • Red Bell Pepper (1/3 Cup, Minced)

  • Tomato Paste (2 Tablespoons)

  • Sweet Onion (1/2 Cup, Minced)

  • Allspice (1/4 Teaspoon)

    • Allspice Alternative: Ground Cumin (1 Teaspoon) & Dried Oregano (1 Teaspoon)

STEPS:

• Prepare the Dough:

  • In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, sugar, and instant yeast. Mix until well combined.

  • Slowly add warm water to the dry ingredients, mixing until a smooth, non-sticky dough forms. Add more flour if needed.

  • Place the dough in a greased bowl and allow it to double in size for about an hour.

  • After the dough has doubled, punch it down and divide it into six equal portions. Roll each portion into balls and cover them with plastic wrap for 20 minutes.

• Prepare the Meat Mix:

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients for the meat mixture. Mix well until thoroughly combined.

• Assemble and Bake:

  • Preheat the oven to 450°F (232°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  • Roll out each dough ball into 8-inch circles, making them very thin.

  • Place two circles of dough on the parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Using a spoon, distribute the meat mixture evenly over the dough circles.

  • Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the dough is light brown. Adjust baking time if necessary based on elevation.

  • Remove the Lahmacun from the oven and allow them to cool on a wire rack.

  • Repeat the process until all the dough and meat mixture are used.

• Serve:

  • Serve the Lahmacun with a side of Greek yogurt mixed with dried mint and lemon for a refreshing accompaniment (optional).

  • Garnish with fresh Italian parsley, marinated sumac onions, fresh mint, and freshly squeezed lemon for an extra burst of flavor.

  • Enjoy the authentic flavors of Lahmacun, a delicious Armenian delight!
