1 carrot
1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp red pepper powder
a pinch salt
garlic yogurt

Sauce

1 tsp pepper paste
1 tsp tomato paste
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup olive oil

Instructions

1
Preheat a fan‑forced oven to 428°F (428°F).
2
In a large bowl, combine the ground meat, grated carrot, black pepper, red pepper powder, and a pinch of salt; knead with your hands until the mixture is evenly blended.
3
Cut each lavaş sheet into quarters and trim any uneven edges so the pieces are uniform.
4
Spread the meat mixture evenly over the surface of each lavaş quarter, pressing gently to adhere the meat to the bread.

Arrange the topped lavaş pieces in a single layer on a baking tray, then stack the layers on top of each other and slice the stack into strips about 2 cm wide, placing the strips side‑by‑side on the tray.
6
Bake the tray in the preheated fan‑forced oven for 30 minutes, or until the lavaş puffs up and the meat is fully cooked.
7
While the kebab bakes, prepare the sauce as described in the Sauce component.
8
After the initial bake, remove the tray, drizzle the prepared sauce evenly over the kebab strips, and return the tray to the oven (turn off the fan) for an additional 10 minutes to allow the sauce to set and caramelize slightly.
9
Remove the tray from the oven and let the kebab rest for 5 minutes.
10
Serve the lavaş kebab hot, accompanied by a bowl of garlic yogurt on the side for dipping.
11
Enjoy your flavorful Turkish lavaş kebab!
