The shortest route to homemade lahmacun, with no kneading and no waiting for dough to rise. Store-bought thin lavash bakes into a crisp base, while the parsley-packed, isot-spiced topping delivers the familiar flavor. Ideal for a fast, budget-friendly dinner.
Method
Preheat the oven to 200 °C.
Put the ground beef, tomato, tomato paste, olive oil, parsley, garlic and onion in a food processor.
Add the isot, black pepper, salt and pepper flakes, and process until the mixture comes together into a paste.
Cut the lavash into individual portions.
Spread the topping over the lavash in a thin, even layer, right to the edges.
Bake for about 10 minutes, until the edges are crisp.
For an air fryer, cook the mini lahmacun at 180 °C for 8–10 minutes.

Tips
- Spread the topping all the way to the edges so the bare lavash doesn't burn.
- Ground beef mixed with a little lamb tail fat tastes even better, though it adds calories.
- This amount of topping is too much for one lavash; dividing it into five small lahmacun works best.
FAQ
Can I make lavash lahmacun in an air fryer?
Yes. Make them small and cook at 180 °C for 8–10 minutes.
Why do the edges burn?
Any lavash left uncovered by the topping browns too quickly. Spreading the topping right to the edges prevents it.
