Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a small bowl, combine the warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until foamy.
-
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil.
-
Mix the dough until it comes together, then knead on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover with a damp towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
-
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
In a skillet, heat some olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic, cooking until softened.
-
Add the chopped spinach, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper, and cook until the spinach is wilted. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool.
-
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into two equal portions. Roll each portion into an oval shape on a floured surface.
-
Spread the spinach mixture evenly over each oval of dough, leaving a border around the edges. Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese on top.
-
Fold in the edges of the dough to form a boat-like shape, pinching the ends to secure the filling. Brush the edges with the beaten egg and sprinkle sesame seeds on top.
-
Transfer the Pide to the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
-
Serve the Pide hot, sliced into pieces to share and enjoy the delicious flavors of Turkey right at your own table.
