Turkish Pide | Turkish Pizza

As with the Cajun Spiced
Aubergines, today too I had a different recipe. But Pavani’s Turkish Pide
(Turkish Pizza like bread) was so captivating that I had to make it as soon as
I read it. Call me tempestuous or a lady in a hurry, but I keep realizing that
this is the only way I can clear my bookmarked recipes …

As always, her pics are stunning
and this was no expection. With a homemade-pizza loving family even Little
one  loved it. My husband likes eclectic
food, and loads of veggies in his pizza and if possible only veggies and no
cheese on his pizza . 

This was the perfect fit and the only thing was I made it  , baked it but cudnt have even a bite as I
rushed off to class. So there are no final “plated” pics.. But for a runaway
success like this, I am sure we will make it more often. What’s more, I added
finger millet (Ragi flour) for the first time with wholewheat and it was so
tastyJ

I divided the dough and had two
different toppings – roasted peppers and cheesy tomato and spinach – corn – cheese.
Both I was told were polished off the plate. Thanks Pavani for a superb idea
and a great recipeJ

Method:

• Sift all three flours with salt.
  Keep aside. Proof yeast with sugar and warm water. Once done, make a dough
  adding as much water as required to make a dough.Oil the dough and keep it
  aside for 1-1.5 hours till doubled. Punch down a bit.
• Divide dough into 2-3 portions
  (depending on how big a pizza you need). On a floured surface, roll the
  portions into a rectangle.
• With the help of your fingers,
  fold the edges and the tips to make a boat like structure. Brush oil on top, cover and let them rise for
  30—40 mins more.
• Now preheat oven towards end of
  the second rise, place the ‘boats’ gently on the baking sheet (silicone mats
  are great for this purpose).
• Mix the toppings without the
  cheese and keep it ready .
• Brush the edges with milk if need
  be (I didn’t do) & sprinkle sesame seeds.
• Top with the two kind of toppings and
  cheese, and bake for 15-18 mins.
