TURKISH PIDE



Pide (pronounced pee-DAY) is a classic staple dish in Turkey. It is a flatbread traditionally cooked in clay or stone ovens. Pide is often described as Turkish pizza because it has a thin, oblong dough base (similar to pita, chapatti, or pizza crust) that is topped with your chosen filling and then it’s folded over around the edges.

Pide is also known as Turkish pizza.




Pizza Dough

Ingredients:

  1. Yeast: (2 and 1/4 teaspoons)
  2. Water: 1 and 1/3 cups is the perfect amount.
  3. Flour: 50-100gm.
  4. Oil: A couple Tablespoons olive oil adds wonderful flavor to the dough.
  5. Salt: Salt adds necessary flavor.
  6. Sugar: 1 Tablespoon of sugar.

Recipe:
  1. Mix the dough ingredients together by hand or use a hand-held or stand mixer. Do this in steps as described in the written recipe below.
  2. Knead by hand or beat the dough with your mixer. I like doing this by hand and you can watch me in the video.
  3. Place dough into a greased mixing bowl, cover tightly, and set aside to rise for about 90 minutes or overnight in the refrigerator.
  4. Punch down risen dough to release air bubbles. Divide in 2.
  5. Roll dough out into a 12-inch circle. Cover and rest as you prep the pizza toppings.
  6. Top with favorite pizza toppings.
  7. Bake pizza at a very high temperature for only about 15 minutes.
