- Butter
- Red pepper flakes (pul biber)

Preparation:
Making the Dough:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Make a well in the center and gradually add water while kneading until you get a soft dough. Continue kneading until the dough is smooth and elastic. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest for about 30 minutes.
Preparing the Filling:
- Finely chop or grate the onion. In a bowl, mix together the ground meat, chopped onion, salt, and black pepper until well combined. This will be your filling.
Rolling and Cutting the Dough:
- On a floured surface, roll out the rested dough thinly. Use a glass or a mantı cutter to cut out circles. Place a teaspoon of filling in the center of each circle.
Folding the Mantı:
- Moisten the edges of the circle with your fingers and fold them over the filling, pressing down gently to seal. You can fold the mantı in the classic square shape or in a more decorative manner if you prefer.
Cooking the Mantı:
- Bring a pot of water to a boil and add salt. Drop the mantı into the boiling water and cook for about 8-10 minutes until they float to the surface. Once cooked, remove the mantı with a slotted spoon and transfer them to a serving plate.
Serving:
- Arrange the cooked mantı on a serving plate. Top them with yogurt and garlic yogurt sauce if desired. In a small saucepan, melt the butter and add red pepper flakes and dried mint to make the topping. Drizzle the butter mixture over the mantı.
Serve Hot:
- Serve the mantı hot. You can sprinkle some sumac or extra red pepper flakes on top if you like. Enjoy your delicious homemade mantı!
