Description

Turkish pide differs from Italian pizza in its elongated shape and, like pizza, is baked in an oven. In our recipe, the traditional filling includes ground lamb, tomatoes, peppers, onions, and herbs, although sometimes pide is made with cheese and eggs, similar to a cheese-filled bread.

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Mix the flour, yeast, 5 grams each of salt and sugar, 25 ml of vegetable oil, and warm water using a mixer. Knead until you have a smooth dough.

Step 2

Transfer it to a greased bowl, cover, and place in a warm spot for 40–60 minutes.

Step 3

In a skillet, sauté the chopped onion with cumin until soft, then add the finely diced peppers and garlic, and cook for 2 minutes.

Step 4

Then add the minced meat and sauté for 10–15 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste, black pepper, chili flakes, sugar, and salt to taste, and cook for another 2–3 minutes. After that, remove from heat and mix in half of the chopped parsley.

Step 5

Punch down the risen dough and divide it into equal portions.

Step 6

Roll out a piece of dough into a long, thin sheet and transfer it to a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Spread one-eighth of the filling over the dough in a thin layer, leaving a 2-3 cm border from the edges.
