A meat-free, plant-based take on traditional lahmacun. This version is made by mixing cooked red lentils with tomato, pepper paste and spices, then spreading the mixture over thinly rolled dough. It is a practical vegan option.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Knead the dough

30 min

Dissolve the yeast in the lukewarm water. Add the flour and salt and knead to form a dough. Cover and let it rise for 30 minutes.

2

Prepare the lentil topping

10 min

Mix the cooked lentils thoroughly with the grated tomato, onion, pepper paste, vegetable oil and spices to make a smooth topping.

3

Roll out the dough

10 min

Divide the risen dough into 6 pieces and roll each one into a very thin round.

4

Spread on the topping

10 min

Spread a thin layer of the lentil mixture over each rolled round, taking it all the way to the edges.

5

Bake

5 min

Bake the lahmacun in an oven preheated to its highest setting until the edges are browned. Caution: It browns quickly at high heat, so keep a close eye on the oven.

Reminder

Spread the lentil mixture in a thin layer over the rolled dough so the lahmacun cooks quickly; a thick layer may leave the center doughy. Allergens: contains gluten (from wheat flour).
