Yield 10 Pides, 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

1 teaspoon active dry yeast
2 cups warm water
1 cup wheat flour
5 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 lb spinach (cleaned, washed and chopped)
1 medium size onion (finely chopped)
feta cheese (optional)
spices

Steps:

Dissolve the yeast in a large bowl.
Add wheat flour and one cup of all purpose flour, and stir.
Cover the mixture and put aside for 10 minutes, up to 3 hours.
Add oil and salt.
Slowly add the remaining flour until it is hard to stir.
Turn the dough over the slightly floured surface, and knead it for 6-8 minutes. The dough should not stick to your hands while you are kneading. If necessary add more flour.
Cover the dough with a plastic film and put it aside for 1.5-2 hours, until the dough doubles its initial size.
Prepare the fillings at another bowl. Just put all the ingredients and mix.
When the dough is ready, turn the dough over the slightly floured surface.
Slice the dough into 10 slices and make balls. Cover the pieces with a damp cloth.
Take the first piece and flat the dough into a circle (D=6-9 in.) with using a rolling pin.
Brush the surface with olive oil.
Sprinkle 2-3 tbsp stuffing onto the dough. Cover the sides, and shape it as a boat.
Brush the top with olive oil again.
Put the pide on preheated skillet and cook the bottom at medium temperature.
Once the bottom is cooked, transfer the pide to an oven dish and place it to the oven which is set to broil.
Cook the top until the surface turn to light brown-golden.

Tips:

For a crispy pide, use a pizza stone or baking sheet preheated to a high temperature.
To prevent the pide from getting soggy, avoid adding too much sauce or toppings.
If you don't have a rolling pin, you can use a wine bottle or even your hands to flatten the dough.
Feel free to experiment with different toppings. Some popular options include ground beef, sausage, vegetables, and different cheeses.
For a cheesy pide, use a generous amount of cheese. A blend of mozzarella and cheddar is a good option.
To get a golden brown crust, brush the pide with olive oil or melted butter before baking.
