Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a small bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy.
-
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Add the olive oil and the yeast mixture. Mix until a smooth dough forms. Knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes until it is elastic and no longer sticky. Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and let the dough rise in a warm place for about an hour.
-
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and onion, and sauté until they become translucent.
-
Add the diced bell peppers and continue to cook until they soften. Stir in the tomatoes, tomato paste, cumin, paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Cook the mixture for another 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender and the flavors meld together. Remove from heat and set aside.
-
Divide the dough into equal portions and roll each one out on a floured surface into a thin round shape, similar to a pizza crust.
-
Spread a generous amount of the vegetable mixture over each dough round, leaving a small border around the edges.
-
Transfer the prepared lahmacun to the lined baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is crisp and slightly golden.
-
Once out of the oven, sprinkle the freshly chopped parsley on top for a burst of freshness.
