Filling not too moist
Too much liquid dissolves the dough. Cut tomatoes or peppers finely and do not use watery.
For pide, a soft yeast dough is rolled out, filled with a not too moist filling and baked in the hot oven. After baking, the edges are coated with butter so that they remain aromatic and delicate.
Why this recipe works
Turkish pide needs heat and a well seasoned filling. Onion, paprika, tomato paste, minced meat and parsley are finely mixed so that they cook in the short baking time. If you want to, beat an egg in the middle at the end or serve pide with yoghurt.
Recipe
Pide is a Turkish batter with crispy edge and spicy filling. This recipe combines yeast dough with minced meat, peppers, tomato paste and parsley.
Knead flour, water, yeast, sugar, salt and olive oil to a smooth dough. Let go covered for about 45 minutes.
Mix minced meat, onion, paprika, tomato paste, parsley, paprika, salt and pepper thoroughly. The filling should be spicy and not liquid.
Divide the dough into 4 pieces and roll out oval. Spread the filling in the middle, smash the edges and press the ends together.
Bake at 220 degrees top/bottom heat for 15 to 18 minutes until the edges get colour and the filling is cooked.
Sprinkle the hot edges thinly with butter. Bake an egg in the middle or serve yoghurt with it.
Kitchen know-how
Too much liquid dissolves the dough. Cut tomatoes or peppers finely and do not use watery.
Pide needs a hot oven. So the edge gets crispy and the filling cooks quickly.
A little butter after baking makes the edges aromatic and prevents them from getting hard.
