Production Method:

The components used in the production of Çorum Dry Manti are as follows: For the dough: - 2 kg wheat flour (Type 1) - 1 egg - 25 g salt - 800 ml water For the filling: - 1 onion - 500 g minced beef (half fat, preferably sourced from the geographical region) - 5 g black pepper - 5 g red pepper flakes - 4 g salt

Onions and minced meat are sautéed. Then, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes are added, and optionally, chopped parsley can be used instead of onions to prepare the filling.The dough is kneaded by mixing flour, egg, salt, and water until a firm dough is obtained. The dough is divided into 700-800 g pieces, covered, and rested for about 1 hour.

After resting, the dough is rolled out to a thickness of 1 - 1.2 mm using a rolling pin with a diameter of 2 cm. Circular pieces are cut from the rolled-out dough with a diameter of 5.5 - 6.5 cm. The minced meat filling is placed on the circular dough pieces, folded to form a "6-8 eared" shape with an empty space in the middle.

The tray is greased with butter. The manti, with the flower-shaped parts (folded parts) facing down, is arranged in the tray. The tray is placed on low heat, and the manti is slowly fried for about 30 minutes by turning the tray. The manti is then transferred to a larger tray with the folded parts facing upwards, and the same process is repeated for another 15 minutes.
