Instructions
Prepare the dough
Combine all dough ingredients and knead until soft and smooth.
Rest the dough
Cover the dough and let it rest for 15-20 minutes to make rolling easier.
Divide and shape the dough
Divide the rested dough into 10-12 equal pieces and roll each into a ball.
Roll out the flatbreads
Roll each ball into a thin round on a floured surface. Shake off excess flour before cooking.
Cook the flatbreads
Cook each flatbread in a preheated pan, turning frequently until lightly spotted with color. Do not overcook.
Keep flatbreads warm
Stack cooked flatbreads between clean kitchen towels to keep them soft.
Prepare the filling
Heat oil in a wide pan, sauté the onions until translucent, then add the ground beef and break up any lumps.
Add butter and peppers
Add butter and chopped chili peppers, continue cooking until peppers soften.
Add tomato and pepper paste and spices
Stir in tomato paste, pepper paste, salt, paprika, chili flakes, and black pepper.
Add grated tomato and water
Add the grated tomatoes and hot water. Mix well, cover, and simmer on medium heat for 20-25 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Assemble the Anatolian Lasagne
Dip the edges of each flatbread in the sauce, place on a serving plate, spread some meat filling on top, and repeat layers until all flatbreads and filling are used.
