Mod de preparare

Pas cu pas

1. 1

   In a large bowl, combine the warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.

   Aproximativ 10 min.

2. 2

   Add the all-purpose flour, salt, and olive oil to the yeast mixture. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.

   Aproximativ 2 min.

3. 3

   Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

   Aproximativ 10 min.

   Nota bucătarului: If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour, one tablespoon at a time.

4. 4

   Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

   Aproximativ 1 oră

5. 5

   While the dough is rising, prepare the filling. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, onion, green bell pepper, tomato, garlic, tomato paste, red pepper flakes, cumin, black pepper, and salt. Mix well until everything is thoroughly combined.

   Aproximativ 15 min.

   Nota bucătarului: Using your hands is the most effective way to mix the filling ingredients evenly.

6. 6

   Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

   Aproximativ 10 min.

7. 7

   Once the dough has risen, punch it down gently and divide it into 4 equal pieces.

   Aproximativ 2 min.

8. 8

   On a lightly floured surface, roll each dough piece into an oval shape, about 25-30 cm (10-12 inches) long and 10-12 cm (4-5 inches) wide.

   Aproximativ 5 min.

   Nota bucătarului: Try to keep the edges slightly thicker than the center.

9. 9

   Spread about one-quarter of the meat filling evenly over each oval dough, leaving a 1.5 cm (0.5 inch) border around the edges.

   Aproximativ 5 min.

10. 10

    Fold the long edges of the dough over the filling towards the center, pinching the ends to form a boat shape. Make sure the ends are well sealed to prevent the filling from leaking out.

    Aproximativ 5 min.

11. 11

    Carefully transfer the shaped pides to the prepared baking sheets.

    Aproximativ 1 min.

12. 12

    In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and milk for the egg wash.

    Aproximativ 1 min.

13. 13

    Brush the exposed dough edges of the pides with the egg wash.

    Aproximativ 1 min.

    Nota bucătarului: This will give the crust a nice golden color.

14. 14

    Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the meat filling is cooked through.

    Aproximativ 20 min.

    Nota bucătarului: Baking time may vary depending on your oven.

15. 15

    Remove from the oven, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve hot.

    Aproximativ 1 min.

    Nota bucătarului: Pide is best enjoyed fresh from the oven.
