Katmer is a hearty Anatolian breakfast dish made by spreading seasoned ground beef between thinly rolled layers of dough, folding them, and cooking them in butter in a skillet. It is crisp on the outside and soft inside.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Mix the Dough

15 min

Mix the flour, egg, water, and salt until a smooth dough forms. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and let it rest for 15 minutes.

2

Prepare the Filling

10 min

Sauté the onion in a skillet, then add the ground beef, cumin, and black pepper. Cook for 10 minutes, until the meat releases its juices and they evaporate.

3

Roll Out and Fold the Dough

10 min

Roll the dough into a thin circle and brush it with melted butter. Spread the ground beef filling and parsley evenly over it, then fold the four corners inward to enclose the filling.

4

Cook in a Skillet

12 min

Add the remaining butter to a hot skillet and cook the katmer for 6 minutes per side, until golden.

Reminder

Do not roll the dough too thin, or it may tear while folding and the filling may spill out. Allergens: contains wheat (gluten) and eggs.

Kıymalı katmeri ilk kez yaptım, hamuru açarken fazla ince açtığım için katlama sırasında birkaç yerde yırtıldı ve iç harcı dışarı taştı. Tadı güzeldi ama görünüşü hayal ettiğim gibi olmadı, ikinci denemede hamuru biraz daha kalın açacağım.

Hamuru 15 dakika dinlendirmek tam kıvamını buldurdu, tavada 6'şar dakikada her iki taraf da nefis bir altın rengine ulaştı. Kıymalı iç harç da fazla kurumadan yumuşacık kaldı, ailece çok beğendik.
