How to Make Turkish Pide Bread

• Mix the yeast, sugar & water in a bowl and keep aside.
• Now take the flour in a large bowl, add the salt and mix well. Add the yeast and milk and knead till you get a smooth soft dough. Knead for 5-6 mins then add oil and knead for another 5-6 mins till smooth. If the dough is too sticky, add more flour to get the right consistency.
• Proof the dough in a bowl till it doubles in size. It usually takes about 60 to 90 mins.
• While the dough is proofing, prepare the yogurt egg mixture. Take all the ingredients and mix well. Keep aside for later.
• For the zatar onion, heat oil and butter in a kadai and fry the garlic and onion till they are caramelised. Season with some salt and zatar and let them cool.
• Once the dough has proofed, knock it back and roll it out into a thick roti. Press down the sides as shown in the video to make a thicker edge and place it on a tray or an oven proof pan like the Stahl Blacksmith Hybrid Frypan. Make a diamond shaped pattern as shown.
• Rest this again for 5 mins, brush with the egg wash and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
