Turkish · Main course · 50 min total

A traditional Turkish flatbread filled with seasoned ground meat, onions, and peppers, baked to golden perfection. This recipe brings the flavors of a classic pide right to your home kitchen.

Ingredients

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon instant yeast
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1 cup warm water
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 pound ground beef or lamb
• 1 large onion, finely chopped
• 1 green bell pepper, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese (optional)

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine flour, yeast, salt, and sugar. Add warm water and olive oil; mix until a dough forms. Knead on a floured surface for 5-7 minutes until smooth. Place in an oiled bowl, cover, and let rise for 1 hour.
2. While dough rises, prepare filling: In a skillet over medium heat, cook ground meat until browned. Add onion, bell pepper, and garlic; cook until softened. Stir in cumin, paprika, and black pepper. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. If using feta, mix it in.
3. Preheat oven to 475°F (245°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
4. Divide dough into 4 equal pieces. On a floured surface, roll each piece into an oval about 8x6 inches.
5. Spread one-quarter of the meat mixture down the center of each oval, leaving a 1-inch border at the ends and sides.
6. Fold the sides of the dough over the filling, pinching the ends to form a boat shape. Leave the center open.
7. Place pides on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until golden brown.
8. Serve hot, optionally with yogurt or lemon wedges.

Tips

• For a crispier crust, brush the dough edges with egg wash before baking.
• Leftover pide can be reheated in a 350°F oven for 5 minutes.
• Substitute ground chicken or turkey for a lighter version.
