Making the dough – 15 minutes + rising time

Gently heat the water and milk until lukewarm, make sure it's not too hot. Dissolve the yeast in this mixture and let it sit for about 10 minutes until it starts to foam.

You can knead the dough with a stand mixer or by hand.

Mix the flour with salt and add about 4 tablespoons of olive oil. Slowly add the yeast mixture and knead until the dough is smooth and elastic.

This will take at least 5 minutes. Place the dough ball in a bowl and cover it with a warm, damp tea towel.

Let the dough rise for about an hour, or until it has doubled in size.

Preheat the oven to 220 degrees Celsius.

Making the Turkish cheese pide – 35 minutes

Divide the dough into four pieces and roll each one out into a long oval shape, about 4 mm thick.

Spread grated mozzarella on two of the pides, keeping about 2 cm free around the edges. Crumble the feta over the other two pides.

Tips!

Which cheese to use for Turkish pides?

For Peynirli pide (cheese pide), cheeses that melt well but keep some texture are used. Some examples:

  • Beyaz peynir: white cheese, like feta
  • Kaşar peyniri: semi-hard yellow cheese, like young cheddar or Gouda
  • Lor peyniri: soft, crumbly cheese, like ricotta

How long can I keep Turkish pides?

You can keep Turkish pides for up to 2 days. Reheat them briefly in the oven (or air fryer), or eat them cold.
