Prepare dough by mixing flour, water, and egg until smooth.

Knead the dough for about 10 minutes until elastic.

Cover the dough and let it rest for 30 minutes.

In a bowl, combine ground lamb, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and paprika.

Roll out the dough on a floured surface until thin.

Cut the dough into larger squares or circles instead of traditional miniature sizes.

Place a spoonful of the filling in the center of each dough piece.

Fold the dough over the filling to create a dumpling shape, sealing the edges tightly.

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Arrange the manti on a baking sheet and brush with melted butter.

Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.

Serve baked manti topped with garlic yogurt and tomato sauce.
