1. Prepare the Dough

In a bowl, combine flour and salt. Gradually add water and olive oil, mixing until a soft dough forms. Knead briefly until smooth. Cover and let rest for 20 minutes.

2. Make the Filling

In a skillet over medium heat, sauté onion and bell pepper until softened. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute.

3. Cook the Meat

Add ground lamb or beef to the skillet. Cook until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain excess fat if necessary.

4. Season

Stir in cumin, paprika, chili flakes (if using), salt, pepper, and chopped parsley. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.

5. Preheat Oven

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

6. Roll the Dough

Divide dough into small balls. Roll each into a thin circle about 4 inches in diameter.

7. Fill

Place a spoonful of the meat mixture in the center of each circle. Spread lightly and fold the edges slightly to create a small border.

8. Bake

Place on prepared baking sheet and bake for 15–20 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp.

9. Prepare Yogurt Drizzle

In a bowl, mix yogurt, lemon juice, salt, and chopped mint until smooth.

10. Serve

Let the mini lahmacun bites cool slightly. Drizzle with yogurt sauce and serve warm.
