How to Make Spinach And Cheese Turkish Pides

  1. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add 2 cloves of minced garlic and 10 ounces of fresh spinach.
  2. Cook, stirring frequently, for 30-60 seconds until the spinach just wilts.
  3. Transfer the spinach mixture to a bowl and let it cool for 10 minutes.
  4. Add 1/2 cup of chopped scallions, 1 cup of ricotta cheese, 1/2 cup of crumbled feta cheese, 1/4 cup of pine nuts, and 1/4 cup of breadcrumbs to the cooled spinach.
  5. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  6. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Lightly grease two large baking trays.
  7. Divide your pizza dough into four equal pieces.
  8. Roll out each piece of dough into a 25cm (10-inch) oval shape.
  9. Spoon a generous amount of the spinach and cheese filling onto the center of each oval. Fold the sides of the dough inwards, then twist the ends to seal.
  10. Place the filled pides onto the prepared baking trays, leaving some space between each one.
  11. Lightly spray the pides with olive oil.
  12. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and crisp.
  13. Serve immediately with lemon wedges for a zesty finishing touch.
