Ingredients

Directions
- For the dough: Put the flour in a large bowl, add 1/2 teaspoon salt and mix to combine. Gradually add 2 cups of warm water to the flour mixture and mix to bring the dough together. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead until it’s soft but not sticky, about 10 minutes. Divide the dough into 12 pieces, about 3.5 ounces each, and shape into balls. Put the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment and cover with a damp kitchen towel. Let rest for 30 to 45 minutes.
- For the topping: Put the ground beef, parsley, olive oil, tomato paste, cumin, Aleppo pepper, sumac, black pepper, garlic, onion, Anaheim peppers, tomatoes, bell peppers and 1 tablespoon salt in a bowl. Mix with a spoon until the ingredients are well combined. Let the mixture sit until the dough is ready.
- Place a baking sheet upside down on the middle rack of the oven (or use a pizza stone) and preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
- Place one of the dough balls on a lightly floured surface (keep the rest under the kitchen towel) and roll it out into a thin circle about 10 inches in diameter. Place the dough on a piece of parchment and top it with a thin layer of the topping (5 to 6 tablespoons), making sure all of the dough is well coated. Transfer the dough on the parchment to the hot baking sheet. Bake until the topping is fully cooked and the edges of the dough start browning a bit, 8 to 10 minutes. Repeat with the remaining dough and topping. To keep the cooked lahmacun soft, stack them and cover with a light kitchen towel.
- For serving: Top the lahmacun with some parsley, sliced onion and lemon juice, then roll into a wrap.
Cook’s Note
In order to save time, you can roughly chop all the vegetables, except for the tomatoes, in a food processor, then mix them with the ground beef and spices in the bowl. Just make sure not to overprocess them, or they may start releasing their juices and make the topping watery.
