Pide (pronounced pee-day) is a Turkish flat bread similar to pitta bread. It's usually made in hot clay ovens and eaten during Ramadan. You'd think this would be an easy recipe to do right now but it's been tricky finding yeast in the shops. I managed it though, so here we go!
Ingredients:
250g flour
7g yeast
200ml warm water
1 tsp salt
1 tbls oil
seeds to top
Mix the flour, yeast and salt in a bowl.
Make a well in the middle and add the warm water.
Using your hands, mix into a wet dough.
Cover and leave to prove for an hour.
When it has roughly doubled in size take it out of the bowl and using flour so it doesn't stick, form it into circle or rectangle on an oiled tray. I used a rectangular tray this time.
Leave to rest again for about an hour covered with a clean tea towel. When the time is up use your fingers to mark a crust about 3cm in all the way around and then mark a criss-cross pattern inside. Brush the dough with oil and sprinkle on some seeds of your choice. I'm using poppy seeds.
Pre-heat your oven to 250 C and bake for 8 minutes. Turn the oven down to 200 C and bake for a further 5 minutes until golden brown in colour. Slice up and serve!
This was very popular with Val and Erin. They both came downstairs following the fresh bread smell and then we all stood at the kitchen counter slicing it up and putting butter on it while it was still warm. It was delicious! A little salty and crisp in places where the dough was thinner. Very nice!
