Ingredients
✓ 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
✓ 1 teaspoon salt
✓ 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
✓ 1 teaspoon sugar
✓ 1 1/4 cups warm water (about 110°F/43°C)
✓ 2 tablespoons olive oil
✓ 1 pound ground beef or lamb
✓ 1 onion (finely chopped)
✓ 1 bell pepper (finely chopped)
✓ 2 cloves garlic (minced)
✓ 1 teaspoon ground cumin
✓ 1 teaspoon paprika
✓ Salt and pepper (to taste)
✓ 1/2 cup fresh parsley (chopped)
✓ 1/2 cup grated cheese (such as mozzarella or feta, optional)
Instructions
✓ In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, salt, yeast, and sugar; whisk to blend.
✓ Add warm water and olive oil; mix until shaggy dough forms.
✓ Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes or until smooth and elastic.
✓ Divide dough into 6 equal portions, each about 100 grams. Roll into balls and flatten to form discs approximately 7 inches in diameter.
✓ Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
✓ In another bowl, combine ground beef, onion, bell pepper, garlic, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper; mix well.
✓ Spoon the filling onto one half of each pide disc, leaving a small border around the edges for sealing.
✓ Fold pide boats in half and press edges together to seal. Place on greased baking tray or baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
✓ Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and fully cooked through.
✓ Remove from oven; let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
Ensure ingredients are at room temperature to achieve even mixing. Preheat oven properly to ensure even baking. Can use chicken or pork instead of beef/lamb for variety.
