This delicate specialty from Kayseri is made with unleavened dough rolled paper-thin, topped with ground beef and egg, and baked at a high temperature. The edges turn crisp while the center stays soft.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Knead and rest the dough

20 min

Knead the flour, water, and salt into a smooth dough. Wrap it and let it rest for 20 minutes.

2

Prepare the filling

8 min

Combine the ground beef thoroughly with the grated onion, tomato paste, and black pepper.

3

Roll out the dough and add the filling

12 min

Roll the rested dough into a long, as-thin-as-possible sheet. Fold the edges in slightly and spread a thin layer of the ground beef mixture over the top.

4

Bake and Finish with Egg

10 min

Bake in an oven preheated to 250°C / 480°F for 6–7 minutes. Crack the eggs into the center and bake for another 2–3 minutes, until the whites are set. Drizzle with melted butter and serve hot.

Reminder

Do not use too much flour while rolling out the dough; excess flour can make the edges hard and brittle after baking. Contains allergens: wheat (gluten) and egg.
