Pide Recipe

Preparation

1. 1

   Make the Dough

   In a large bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy. Add flour, salt, and olive oil. Mix until a dough forms, then knead for about 10 minutes until smooth. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1 hour.

2. 2

   Prepare the Topping

   In a skillet over medium heat, sauté chopped onion and bell pepper until soft. Add ground meat and cook until browned. Stir in diced tomato, parsley, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 5 minutes. Set aside to cool.

3. 3

   Shape the Pide

   Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C). Once the dough has risen, divide it into 6 equal pieces. Roll each piece into an oval shape. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

4. 4

   Add Toppings

   Spread the meat mixture over the center of each oval. Leave the edges free to create a crust. Optionally, sprinkle crumbled feta cheese on top.

5. 5

   Bake

   Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool slightly before slicing.
