The pide(Turkish bread) with cheese in a Turkish Holiday Resort







After a hectic life,it was very nice to go to Turkey for holiday.I was very excited when I thought about Turkish food which I would have on holiday.
I and my cousin went to Kemer Camyuva Beach hotel,friendly and very clean.The foods were fantastic and delicious.
The pide chef,Mehmet Usta from Gaziantep was making nice pides for guests.He gave me a pide(Turkish bread) recipe and baked some pides in the stone oven for us.They were mouth watering.


Here is the recipe:

500 g flour
1 tsp sugar
1 sachet yeast
warm water

Mix all ingredients all together.Add enough water to make a soft dough. Knead the dough until it is neither soft or hard.Cut into the small pieces.Leave them 10 Min's.Prepare filling.

Filling:
250 g feta cheese
one handful of parsley
5 tbsp vegetable oil
a pinch of sweet ground red pepper

Put 5 tbsp oil to the pan and heat the pan.Cut feta cheese into the small pieces and put in the pan.Fry it for 2 mins.Add chopped parsley and a pinch of sweet ground red pepper.Stir together for 2 mins.Turn off the heat.

Preheat the oven 200 C.Take a small dough and roll it untill it is oval shape.Put some cheese filling.Close the dough with your fingers.Make pides all dough is finished.Put them in the oven till they are brown.(10-15mins)

The Turkish recipes from my holiday will carry on....
