Turkish Cheese Pide
A golden, boat-shaped Turkish cheese pide with a soft fluffy crust and a rich, gooey cheese center made from mozzarella and feta, baked until bubbly and finished with fresh parsley.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups all purpose flour
- 1 cup warm water
- 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 F and place a baking sheet inside to heat.
- In a bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
- Add flour, salt, and olive oil. Knead until smooth and elastic.
- Place dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let rise for 1 hour until doubled in size.
- Divide dough into two portions and roll each into an oval shape.
- Pinch the edges to form a boat shape and fill the center with mozzarella and feta cheese.
- Transfer carefully onto the hot baking sheet and bake for 15 to 18 minutes until golden and bubbly.
- Remove from oven, sprinkle with chopped parsley, slice, and serve warm.
Notes
- Do not overfill with cheese to prevent spilling during baking.
- Make sure the water is warm but not hot to properly activate the yeast.
- For extra golden crust, brush the edges with olive oil before baking.
