Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2.25 teaspoons instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 cup warm water
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cups fresh spinach
- 1 medium, finely chopped onion
- 1 cup, crumbled feta cheese
- 2 cloves, minced garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 large, for egg wash egg
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt. Make a well in the center and gradually add the warm water and olive oil. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes, or until the dough is soft and elastic. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
While the dough is rising, prepare the spinach filling. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté until soft and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the crumbled feta cheese, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Let the mixture cool to room temperature.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 4 equal portions. Roll each portion into an oval shape on a floured surface, approximately 8 inches long and 4 inches wide.
Place a portion of the spinach filling in the center of each rolled-out dough oval, leaving about 1 inch of space around the edges. Fold the edges over slightly to create a boat shape, pinching the ends closed to seal.
Transfer the prepared pides to the lined baking sheet. Beat the egg in a small bowl and brush the edges of the dough with the egg wash.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and cooked through.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your homemade Spinach Turkish Pide!
