Ingredients

Warm water

Active dry yeast

Sugar

Olive oil

Flour

Salt

Yogurt

Optional fillings: cheese, minced meat, vegetables

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine warm water, yeast, and sugar. Allow it to rest until it becomes frothy.
  2. Add olive oil, flour, salt, and yogurt to the yeast mixture. Mix until the dough begins to form, then knead for about 10 minutes until smooth.
  3. Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover it with a clean towel. Let it rise for 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.
  4. Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into small balls. Roll each ball out into an oval or boat shape on a floured surface.
  5. Spread your desired toppings (cheese, meat, or vegetables) over the rolled dough.
  6. Place the prepared pide on a baking sheet or pizza stone and bake in a preheated oven at 450°F (232°C) for 10-15 minutes, or until the edges are crispy and golden.
  7. Remove from the oven and serve hot.

Notes

  • For a crispier crust, bake the pide on a preheated pizza stone or baking sheet at a high temperature (450°F or 232°C).
  • You can freeze Turkish Pide for up to 1 month. Wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil.
  • To reheat, use the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes or a toaster oven for a crispier texture.
