This famous thin Kayseri-style baked flatbread is made with unleavened dough rolled thin, topped with spiced ground meat, and baked at high heat to mimic a stone oven. Rolling the dough paper-thin is the most challenging step and takes skill.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Knead the dough

15 min

Knead the flour with lukewarm water until a smooth dough forms.

2

Rest

20 min

Cover the dough and let it rest for 20 minutes.

3

Prepare the topping

15 min

Mix the ground beef with the chopped tomato, pepper, Turkish red pepper flakes, and cumin.

4

Roll out thinly

20 min

Dust the dough with flour and roll it out paper-thin, until you can see your hand through it. This step takes skill.

5

Spread on the topping and bake

15 min

Spread a thin layer of the topping over the rolled-out dough. Bake in an oven preheated to 250°C / 480°F for 15 minutes.

Reminder

If the dough tears while rolling it out, patch it right away, then gently pull the edges to smooth it out. Allergen: contains gluten (flour).
