Lahmacun dough (Turkish meat flatbread dough)

Lahmacun dough is a very thin dough made with flour, water, salt, and a little yeast. It is spread with a ground-meat topping and baked briefly at high heat. Its thin, crisp base defines the character of lahmacun, a Turkish meat flatbread.

Where It’s Used

“Roll the lahmacun dough out until it is as thin as a plate, then spread the topping thinly over it.”
