Recipe Tip: Turkish Pide with Cheese & Eggs

Instructions

1. Step 1

   Put all the ingredients, except the salt, in a bowl of a mixer and knead with the spiral dough hook at low speed for 8 minutes.

2. Step 2

   Add the salt and knead again for 3 minutes at medium speed.

3. Step 3

   Portion the dough into individual 90 g dough pieces and leave to rise, covered, at room temperature if possible or overnight in the refrigerator.

4. Step 4

   Using a rolling pin, roll out each piece of dough lengthwise (in the shape of an oval) approx. 3 mm thin.

5. Step 5

   Spread some of the cheese mixture on top with a spoon and pre-bake in a wood-fired oven (if available) or in an oven preheated to 225 °C (a pizza stone is an advantage here). Cook for around 5 minutes.

6. Step 6

   For the last 3 to 5 minutes, take the pide out, place an organic egg in the middle and bake until done. The egg should still be runny at the end of the cooking time.

7. Step 7

   Sprinkle some coarse salt on the egg and serve.
