Turkish Cheese Pide
Turkish Cheese Pide is made of a blend of creamy cheeses, aromatic Turkish herbs, and a perfectly crisp crust. This recipe is an experience that you shouldn't miss out on!
Ingredients
- 1 recipe of Ten Minute Multi-Use Dough divided into 10 equal pieces
Cheese Mixture
- 8 ounces cream cheese (preferably the Arabic kind in a glass)
- 1 cup crumbled feta (best to use Bulgarian or Austrian feta- in a can, it is better than normal grocery store feta)
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella
- Turkish Sujuk (optional)
- Egg whisked for egg wash
- Sesame seeds optional
Instructions
- Prepare the 10 minute dough recipe and divide into 10 equal pieces.
- Spray or lightly oil a flat surface.
- Add a dough ball and spread until it’s elongated, you don’t want thin to be paper thin but not thick either.
- Roll up the long edges to create a seal, only 2-3 times. This helps the cheese stay in the dough.
- Pinch both edges shut.
- Add the cheese mixture, and if you’re using sujuck, remove the beef from the casing and slice it into thin slices and add on top of the cheese and transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Brush with egg wash and sprinkle the edges with sesame seeds.
- Bake at 475℉ for 10-15 minutes or until the bottom is crispy, and the cheese gets some color, keeping in mind to move the baking sheet to the top rack so the bottom doesn’t burn.
Notes
- Good dough is key for this recipe to succeed so you need to be sure to follow my viral Ten Minute Multi-Use Dough as instructed.
- Be sure to bake your cheese pide until it turns golden brown. Be careful not to overbake it as it might burn.
- Do not skip brushing the edges of your pide with egg wash, this is what gives it a beautiful golden color.
- When shaping the pide, make sure the edges are slightly raised to create a boat-like structure. This helps hold the toppings and prevents them from spilling over.
