Ingredients
  

For the dough:

  • 3/4 cup warm water
  • 1 full tsp. instant yeast
  • 2 pinch sugar
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 2-3 cup all purpose flour

For the topping:

  • 200 gr. 7 oz. ground beef
  • 2 tomatoes, peeled and diced
  • 2 onions, finely chopped
  • 1-2 green chili peppers, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • Black pepper
  • Ground red pepper
  • Cumin

For the top:

  • Kashkaval Cheese, grated
  • Butter

Instructions
 

The dough:

  • Add your 2 cups of flour and 1 full tsp. instant yeast to a large container. Make a gap in the middle of your container by pushing your flour and yeast mixture to the sides. Pour your 3/4 cup warm water in this gap. Add your 2 pinch sugar, 1 tsp. salt on the water and start kneading. The consistensy of the dough should be a little sticky so don't knead too much. (as you can see in below video) Add some more flour while kneading if you need. Cover your dough with a moist towel and let it leaven for one hour. Your dough will be twice as big after one hour.
  • You can also make your dough in your stand mixer with a dough hook.

The topping:

  • Start preparing your topping while waiting for the dough to be leaven. Add your, peeled and diced tomatoes, finely chopped onions, finely chopped green chili peppers, 1 tsp. salt, black pepper, ground red pepper and cumin to your 200 gr. (7 oz.) ground pepper and stir until combined very well.

Preparation:

  • Pour some flour on your surface.
  • Take your leaven dough and knead it very well. Divide in 8 equal pieces. Pour some flour on them, cover with a towel and let it rest for about 5 minutes.
  • Pour some flour on your baking tray.
  • Roll all the dough pieces with your rolling piece in a long oval shape. Align them in your floured baking tray.
  • Share your ground meat topping to the doughs and top it with your grated kashkaval cheese. Fold the long two sides inward and shape it like a boat. (as you can see in the video) Cover your baking tray with a towel and let it rest for 15 minutes.
  • Heat your oven to 200 °C (392 °F) while waiting.
  • Put your baking tray into the bottom shelf of your oven and bake your "pide" until the meat cooks and the sides turn golden brown.
  • Take your pide with ground beef from the oven. Butter the sides. Cover the top with another tray and rest for 5 minutes.
