Topped with a golden egg yolk glaze and a sprinkle of sesame seeds, this versatile dish is ideal as a crowd-pleasing appetizer, a unique main course, or even a light snack. Ready in under an hour and baked to perfection, this recipe delivers authentic Turkish goodness with a gluten-free twist!
In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour blend, xanthan gum, instant yeast, sugar, and salt.
Add in the warm water, olive oil, and egg. Mix until a sticky dough forms. Cover the bowl with a clean towel and let the dough rest in a warm place for 1 hour to rise slightly.
While the dough is resting, prepare the filling. Finely chop the onion, garlic, and spinach.
In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the onion until translucent, about 3-4 minutes, then add the garlic and cook for another 1 minute.
Add the spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly before stirring in the crumbled feta cheese and ground black pepper.
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Once the dough has rested, divide it into two equal portions. On a lightly floured surface (use gluten-free flour for dusting), roll each portion into an oval shape about 1 cm thick.
Transfer the ovals to the prepared baking sheet. Place half of the filling in the center of each dough oval, leaving a border around the edges.
Fold the edges of the dough over the filling to form a boat shape, pinching the ends to seal.
Brush the edges of the dough with beaten egg yolk and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and cooked through.
Let the pides cool slightly before serving warm. Enjoy your gluten-free Turkish pide!
