Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 g All-purpose flour
- 100 g Whole wheat flour
- 7 g Instant yeast
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Sugar
- 120 ml Fat-free Greek yogurt
- 150 ml Warm water
- 1 Egg white
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 150 g Lean ground chicken or turkey
- 1 small Onion, finely chopped
- 1 tbsp Tomato paste
- 1 small Red bell pepper, finely chopped
- 1 tsp Ground cumin
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tsp Black pepper
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 1 Egg yolk (for brushing)
- 1 tsp Sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, instant yeast, salt, and sugar.
Create a well in the center and add the fat-free Greek yogurt, olive oil, and warm water. Mix until a dough forms.
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for 7-8 minutes, or until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
While the dough is rising, prepare the filling. Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and cook the ground chicken or turkey until browned, breaking it into small pieces.
Add the chopped onion, red bell pepper, tomato paste, cumin, paprika, black pepper, and salt to the pan. Cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened and the flavors are combined. Stir in the chopped parsley and remove from heat.
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Once the dough has risen, divide it into four equal portions. Roll each portion into an oval shape approximately 25 cm (10 inches) long.
Place the rolled-out dough on the prepared baking sheet. Spoon the filling evenly across the center of each oval, leaving a 2 cm (0.8 inch) border around the edges.
Fold the edges of the dough over the filling and pinch the ends to create a boat shape.
Beat the egg yolk in a small bowl and brush it over the edges of the dough. If desired, sprinkle sesame seeds on the edges for extra flavor and texture.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the filling is cooked.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your low-fat Turkish pide!
