Selam Everybody..... Merhaba from Turkey...
Same as bread, pide is a staple dish in Turkey. People eat pide anytime, anywhere. Pide is a Turkish pizza look a like-with Turkish flair. It has a chewy texture rather than 'bread-y'.
With typical distinctive charcoal aroma from traditional stone oven pide easily can be found in every corner in Turkey. The topping and filling can be vary in each regions.
If you are my regular reader you should already know very well that I made and post many pide recipes. Because as I mentioned earlier this famed Turkish dish is a staple and daily meal here. I like pide especially with meat topping. I made pide at least once in week for our dinner or lunch.
Generally we eat pide with simple salad like mix of lettuce, tomatoes, green onion, olive or other vegetables, with simply olive oil, salt and lemon dressing. Or sometime with Ezme (similar to meze). Also to complete the whole dish we serve Ayran for the drink.
You can find pide salonu/ pide restorant with stone oven like this in every corner in Turkey |
Basically making this peynirli pide is same like my other pide recipe except for the topping.
You should prepare pide bread first then roll it into long oval shape then fill with any topping you want. No tomato pasta or ketchup here! 😊 We are making traditional Turkish pide.
Today I like cheese as topping, with some tomato slices. I use two kind of cheese, crumble white cheese then above it generously shredded kaşar peynir or similar to cheddar cheese.
You can use any easy melting cheese you like.
So here my Peynirli Pide recipe.
Make 4 medium pide

Pide bread:
- 500 g bread flour

- tomato slices (optional)
- olive oil for brush pide
Method:
1) For Pide; In a big bowl, dissolve yeast, sugar, and 1 tbsp flour with warm water. Let it stand for about 5~10 minutes or until foamy.
2) To the foamy yeast mixture, add in flour and salt. Start to knead. You can knead manually or with stand mixer with hook paddle. Knead in olive oil and continue to knead until it smooth and elastic. Note: you may need more water or flour, add it carefully.
3) Cover with damp kitchen towel or plastic wrap, let it stand until it double in volume. How long it's depend on your local temperature.
4) Flatten the dough and put on lightly floured working table with semolina flour. Make a big ball and divide the ball into 4 equal parts. Shape each part into smaller balls.
Working one ball at a time. Using rolling pin, roll the dough into long oval shape about 1 cm thick. Move the rolled dough over baking paper then place it on baking sheet.
5) Scatter crumbled white/ feta cheese then topped with shredded cheddar cheese, be generous! ^,^ . Arrange tomato slice over the cheese.
Fold each side the dough like a small boat push and attach each sides. Do same procedure to all dough and topping. Let them rest about 30 minutes.
