I’m a big fan of Turkish food, and thank’s to a Turkish lady’s account I follow on Instagram (for those of you who use Instagram, the account is @TurkishRecipes), I found this recipe! I saw a picture of the Turkish Pide’s she posted and knew I had to do it. They look like a long boat and are filled with meat, onion, tomatoes, parsley, and feta. It’s not the first time I try this recipe at home now and is also my contribution to Fiesta Friday #117. I hope you will enjoy it as much as we did at home!
Thank you to our host Angie, and to our fantastic co-host’s this week Mollie @ The Frugal Hausfrau and Scarlett @ Unwed Housewife

Ingredients: (For the pide)
- 500g of flour (all purpose/plain flour)
- 20g of fresh yeast
- 1 teaspoon of sugar
- A pinch of salt
- 320ml of warm water
Procedure:
- In the mixing bowl of the stand mixer add the flour and the sugar.
- Crumble the fresh yeast in the middle and add the salt on the side.
- Start to mix all the ingredients with the hook of your stand mixer on a low speed.
- Pour the water and now mix on a medium speed for a few minutes.
- Finally, mix on a high speed until the dough becomes smooth and detaches from the bowl.
- Cover with a clean kitchen cloth and set aside in a warm place for 1 hour.
Ingredients: (for the filling)
- 3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
- 1 white onion (chopped)
- 200g of minced beef
- 3 medium tomatoes (chopped)
- A fresh bouquet of parsley (chopped)
- A pinch of salt

- Remove from the heat and add the chopped parsley on top.
Final Procedure:
- Preheat the oven to 180C degrees.
- Line a wax paper on a large tray and set aside.
- Transfer the dough on a clean floured surface, punch it down gently to release the air.
- Divide the dough into 4 equals balls.
- Flatten each ball with your hands.
- With a rolling pin flatten the dough to make the shape of an oval boat (the size of your tray).
- Add a little of the stuffing in the middle.
- Fold the sides and pinch the end of each Pide.
- Brush with an egg yolk the edges and transfer the Pide on the tray.
- Cook for 30 minutes (or once the edges turn golden brown).

Thank you, Linda! Have a wonderful week as well! 🙂
This is a fabulous share Linda! I might try something vegetarian with it! ❤️
Thank you Sonal. A vegetarian version is a great idea and do let me know how it turns out! 🙂
Looks absolutely delicious. Could I substitute fresh yeast with dried one. Here we cant buy small quantities of fresh yeast. We need to buy a big block of it.
Thank you very much, Ana. Of course you can work with the dried yeast, just follow the instruction behind your package. A yummy starter for Ramadan. Have a nice week! 🙂
Wow! Thanks Linda. I was thinking of Ramadan and Iftar too.
