From our kitchenKıymalı pide – Turkish flatbread boats with minced meat
Pide is the Turkish answer to pizza: a soft yeast dough shaped into a boat, topped with minced meat, peppers and tomatoes and baked hot. Brushed with butter and served with ayran.

Method
Dissolve yeast and sugar in the water, knead with flour, salt and oil and let rise for 45 minutes.
Finely chop onion, garlic, tomatoes and peppers and mix raw with the mince, pepper paste, parsley and spices.
Divide the dough into 4 and roll each into a 35 cm oval.
Spread the filling along the middle, fold in the edges, pinch the ends and brush the rim with egg yolk.
Bake at 230 °C (conventional, lower third) for 15 minutes, brush with butter and cut into strips.
