Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 350 grams Whole wheat flour
- 150 grams All-purpose flour
- 7 grams Instant yeast
- 300 milliliters Warm water
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 unit Egg yolk
- 1 tablespoon Plain yogurt
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
- 1 teaspoon Nigella seeds (optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, and salt. Stir to mix the dry ingredients evenly.
Dissolve the instant yeast in warm water and let it sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil.
Mix the ingredients with a wooden spoon or your hands until a dough starts to form. Turn it out onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 2 equal balls. Roll each ball into an oval shape about 1 cm thick.
Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, mix the egg yolk and plain yogurt to make the glaze.
Transfer the dough ovals onto the prepared baking sheet. Using your fingers or a knife, create a crisscross pattern on the surface of the dough to resemble a classic Turkish pide.
Brush the glaze generously over the surface of each pide, then sprinkle with sesame seeds and nigella seeds if using.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the bread is golden brown and cooked through.
Remove from the oven, let the pide cool slightly, and serve warm as a side dish, or fill it with your favorite toppings for a delicious meal.
