From-Scratch Manti (Classic Turkish Beef Dumplings)

1. 1

   Make dough: In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the eggs and water, and mix thoroughly with your hands. If needed, add more water to make a soft dough. Cover and let rest for at least 30 minutes.

2. 2

   Make filling: Shred the onions and place them in a colander or sieve set over a bowl; drain and discard the juice. In a medium bowl, combine the drained onion, ground beef, salt, and pepper; mix well with a spoon until mashed. Set the filling aside.

3. 3

   Lightly flour a work surface and a large plate.

4. 4

   Divide the dough in half. Working with one piece at a time, roll it on the floured surface into a rectangle as thin as possible. Cut into 2-inch squares with a knife or pastry wheel.

5. 5

   Place about 2 teaspoons of filling in the center of each square. Gather the dough edges and pinch them together at the top to form a bundle. Transfer the manti to the prepared plate; sprinkle more flour on top to prevent sticking.

6. 6

   Make oil: In a small skillet over low heat, heat the oil and red pepper flakes just until the pepper flakes begin to color the oil. Remove from heat and keep warm.

7. 7

   Make sauce: Stir the yogurt and garlic together in a small bowl; set aside.

8. 8

   Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook the manti in the boiling water until the filling is no longer pink and the dough is tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Drain well.

9. 9

   Divide the manti among 4 plates. Spoon the yogurt sauce over the manti and drizzle with the pepper oil.
