Expert Tips
  • Make sure that the water you use for making the dough is at room temperature. In this way, the yeast will dissolve more quickly.
  • The minced meat and tail fat used in the filling should be finely grinded.
  • If the filling is too dense, you can thicken it by slowly adding water.
  • If the grill setting of the oven is turned on during cooking, the lahmacuns will be crispy.
