Preparation for Turkish Pide Bread

Ingredients for Turkish Pide Bread

  • 15 gms instant yeast
  • 2 tsp sugar
  • 200 ml milk, lukewarm
  • 1/4 cup water, lukewarm
  • 3 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour

For Egg Yogurt

  • 2 tsp yogurt
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil

For the Zatar Onions

  • 1 tbsp oil
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 2 tbsp sliced garlic
  • 1 cup sliced onions
  • Salt to taste
  • 1 tbsp zatar

For Garnish

  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds

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.
  • Bake in preheated oven at 200 C for 15-18 mins.
