Step-by-Step Instructions for Turkish Flatbread
- In a stand mixer, combine 4 cups of bread flour, 1 packet of instant yeast, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and 1 teaspoon of kosher salt. Gradually add 1 cup of warm water and 1 cup of warm milk, along with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Mix on medium speed for about 10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
- Once the dough is kneaded, shape it into a ball and place it in a lightly oiled bowl. Cover the bowl with a damp cloth or plastic wrap, then set it aside in a warm area for about 60-90 minutes.
- While the dough is proofing, preheat your oven to 500°F (260°C), placing a pizza stone or baking steel inside. Allow it to heat for at least 45 minutes.
- After the dough has risen, gently punch it down to release excess air. Divide the dough into 5 equal pieces, and roll each piece into an oval shape about 18 inches long.
- Place your desired filling, such as a mixture of ground beef and cheese, down the center of each rolled dough oval. Gently fold the edges over the filling to create a boat shape, then pinch the ends to seal.
- Carefully transfer your prepared Turkish Pide to a baking sheet sprinkled with semolina or cornmeal to prevent sticking. Bake in the preheated oven for 14-17 minutes or until golden brown.
- Once baked, remove the Turkish Flatbread from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack. Slice the pide into portions and serve warm.
