Pide recipe – what is it?

Pide is a traditional Turkish flatbread that is filled or topped in a similar way to pizza. The shape is usually oval and the edges are folded up slightly so that the filling stays well inside the dough. There are countless variations, from vegetarian versions with spinach and cheese to hearty meat versions such as this one with minced meat.

Step-by-step preparation

  • Step 1: Prepare the dough: Put the flour and salt in a bowl and mix together. Make a well in the middle and crumble the yeast into it. Pour the sugar and a third of the water (250 ml) into the well and leave to stand for 5-10 minutes. Then add the remaining ingredients and knead into a firm, smooth dough. Brush with olive oil, cover and leave to rest in a warm place for 40-60 minutes.
  • Step 2: Prepare the filling: While the dough is resting, prepare the filling. Blend the onion, pointed bell pepper, tomato puree, garlic, tomato and parsley in a blender or with a hand blender to form a paste. Add this mixture to the mince, add the spices and butter and mix well.

Turkish pide – FAQ

  • Can I prepare pide in advance? Yes, you can prepare the dough in advance and leave it to rest, covered, in the fridge for up to 24 hours. It should stand at room temperature for about 30 minutes before further processing.
  • Can I freeze pide? Yes, baked pide can be frozen well. It is best to store them in an airtight container or freezer bag and bake in the oven at 180 degrees for approx. 10 minutes if necessary.
  • What alternatives are there for the minced meat filling? You can prepare pide with different fillings, e.g. with spinach and feta, grilled vegetables or even cheese and egg.
  • How do I get a particularly crispy pide? For a crispier texture, you can roll out the dough a little thinner and bake the pide on a preheated baking tray or pizza stone.
  • Do I have to coat pide with egg? Brushing with egg and yogurt makes for a nice golden crust, but is optional. You can also leave it out or replace it with a little milk.
