How to Make Stuffed Pide Turkish Pizza

  1. In a large bowl, combine 1 kg all-purpose flour, 7g active dry yeast, 1 tsp sugar, 1 tsp salt, and 300ml warm water. Knead for 8-10 minutes until a smooth, elastic dough forms.
  2. Lightly grease the dough with 2 tbsp olive oil, cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and let it rest for 30 minutes.
  3. Gently knead the dough for 1 minute.
  4. Cover and let rise in a warm place until almost doubled in size (about 1-1.5 hours).
  5. While the dough rises, prepare the filling:
  6. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  7. Add 1 large onion, finely chopped, and 2 cloves garlic, minced, and sauté until translucent (about 5 minutes).
  8. Add 500g ground beef (or lamb), 1 tsp ground cumin, 1 tsp ground coriander, 1 tsp salt, and ½ tsp black pepper. Sauté for 5 minutes, until the meat is browned.
  9. Stir in 1 (400g) can of crushed tomatoes and cook for another 5 minutes, until the liquid is slightly reduced.
  10. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
  11. Once cooled, stir in ½ cup chopped fresh parsley and 2 tbsp fresh mint.
  12. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
  13. Lightly flour a clean surface and place the dough on it. Divide it into 4 or 8 equal pieces.
  14. Shape each piece into a ball, then roll it into an oval shape, keeping the edges slightly thicker.
  15. Transfer the ovals to a baking sheet.
  16. Divide the filling evenly among the dough ovals.
  17. Spread the filling onto the dough, leaving a small border.
  18. Pinch the edges of the dough together to create a boat shape.
  19. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is heated through.
  20. Remove from the oven and, if desired, drizzle with fresh lemon juice.
  21. Garnish with remaining chopped fresh mint and serve immediately.
  22. Optional: Sprinkle with 100g grated cheese during the last 5 minutes of baking.
  23. Enjoy your delicious homemade Stuffed Pide!
