Grant had the genius idea to use the Turkish Mince from Dinners 3 to make Pide the other day and so I had to try it out for myself !!
Using Lailah’s Naan in the book for the dough, it was one of the easiest and most delicious things I’ve made in a long while!
Now this is far from an authentic recipe, however this is a great little budget-friendly way to re-purpose a dinner into something new for the next night!
Equipment
- baking paper
- metal baking trays
- rolling pin
- silicone basting brush
Ingredients
- Turkish Mince leftovers from Dinners 3 - (cooled - room temp is perfect)
- 1 batch Lailah's Naan Dough - rested ready to roll
- 1 egg - lightly beaten (for egg wash)
- 250 g mozzarella cheese - grated (optional)
To Serve
- toasted pine nuts
- Garlic Sauce
- fresh Dill leaves - chopped
- fresh Parsley leaves - chopped
- lemon - wedges
Instructions
- Preheat your fan-forced oven to 220℃. Line 1 or 2 large baking trays with baking paper.
- Divide the dough into 2-4 equal balls, depending on how big you want your pides. Dust your surface with flour.
- Roll out each ball into a rough oval or boat shape, about ½ cm thick. Don’t worry about perfect edges. Put rolled out dough on to lined trays.
- If using cheese, spoon it over the centre of each oval. Spoon the cooled mince into the centre of each oval, leaving a border around the edges.
- Fold the long sides of the dough over the edges of the mince, leaving the top open and pinch and twist the ends to create that classic pide boat shape.
- Brush the dough with beaten egg for a golden finish.
- Bake for 15-20 min, or until the dough is golden and cooked through.
- Garnish with pine nuts, chopped herbs and garlic sauce.
