2 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

1
In a large bowl combine the all‑purpose flour, 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp sugar, and 1 tsp instant yeast.
2
Add 150 ml warm water and 2 tbsp olive oil (optional) and stir until a shaggy dough forms.
3
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 5–7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
4
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 45–60 minutes, or until doubled in size.
5
While the dough rises, heat a skillet over medium heat and add the ground lamb or beef, breaking it up with a spoon.
6
Cook the meat for 5–7 minutes until browned, then season with salt (and optional spices) and set aside.

Preheat the oven with a pizza stone or baking sheet to 428°F (425°F) for at least 15 minutes.

Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 4 equal portions, shaping each into a smooth ball.

On a lightly floured surface roll each ball into a thin circle about 25 cm (10 in) in diameter.
10
Transfer each rolled dough onto parchment paper or the preheated baking sheet.
11
Spread a thin, even layer of the cooked meat mixture over each dough circle, leaving a small border around the edges.

Bake the lahmacun for 6–8 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the edges are crisp.
