We start with a great bread recipe. Today we are making Turkish Pide Bread or Pide Ekmek. This bread is usually made at the end of the fast but can be eaten at other occasions as well. Just like with pita bread this bread is ready available in our supermarkets here. You can easily make this bread yourself. So are you ready to try easy Turkish Pide bread? Lets get started!
When we lived in our previous home near the center of Amsterdam you could find a Turkish baker on just about every street corner. They would bake fresh bread all day long and it would cost close to nothing. This bread is great with a dips and spreads or with a stew. You can eat it any time of the day.
Now that we leave in a different part of Amsterdam where there are no Turkish bakeries I make the bread myself. To show you how easy it is to make it I am sharing it with you today.
What do you need? To make one bread I use:
- 2 cups of all purpose flour
- ½ tbsp yeast
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp sugar
- ¾ cup warm water
- 1½ tbsp of vegetable oil
- 1 tbsp of sesame seeds
The secret to this great Pide bread recipe is to give the dough time to proof and this recipe needs to proof twice. The first time when the dough is combined. This takes about 1-1½ hour. The second time when the dough is rolled into a circle on a baking tray. Then it requires another proof of about half to 1 hour.
This bread is vegan and only contain plant based ingredients. It is neither salt nor sweet. You usually eat it with something savory but you can eat it with something sweet as well. Just give it a try and let me know what you prefer.
