The story behind

Hey! Let me share that the first time I made these Pide was for a get-together with my best friends, and they were an instant hit. I just love the boat shape; it’s so unique! This is a traditional Turkish recipe you’d find on almost every street corner there. I usually whip these up for a chill weekend dinner, paired with a fresh cucumber salad and a cold beer or iced tea. The best part is you can just grab them with your hands while having a great conversation.

Instructions

  1. 1
    In a pan, sauté the onion, bell pepper, and meat until the meat is browned.
  2. 2
    Stir in the tomatoes, paste, and spices. Cook for another 5 minutes and let it cool slightly.
  3. 3
    Divide the dough into 4 pieces and roll each into an oval shape.
  4. 4
    Place the filling in the center and fold the edges inward, pinching the ends to form the 'boat'.
  5. 5
    Bake at 200°C (400°F) for about 15-20 minutes until the crust is golden brown.
  6. 6
    Brush the edges with a little butter right out of the oven and serve hot.
