Peynirli Pide (Turkish Cheese Flatbread)

Ingredients

• •1 lb store-bought pizza dough
• •1 cup crumbled feta cheese
• •1 cup shredded mozzarella
• •2 large eggs
• •3 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
• •1/2 tsp dried oregano
• •1/4 tsp red chili flakes
• •1 tbsp olive oil
• •1/4 tsp black pepper
• •1 tbsp unsalted butter

Directions

1. 1Place a baking sheet or pizza stone in the oven and preheat to 500°F (260°C) for at least 15 minutes.
2. 2Mix feta, mozzarella, parsley, oregano, chili flakes, and black pepper in a bowl until combined.
3. 3Divide dough into 4 equal pieces; on a lightly floured surface roll each into a thin oval roughly 10 inches long.
4. 4Mound a quarter of the cheese filling down the center of each oval, leaving a 1-inch border.
5. 5Fold and pinch the long edges up and over to create a raised rim, then pinch the pointed ends to form a boat shape.
6. 6Carefully slide pides onto the hot baking sheet; bake 8–10 minutes until the crust is golden and filling is bubbling.
7. 7Crack one egg into the center of each pide for the last 3 minutes of baking if desired, then brush the crust with butter and serve immediately.

💡 Traditional pide uses a blend of unsalted white Turkish cheese (beyaz peynir) and kaşar; feta plus mozzarella is an excellent Canadian-supermarket substitute. Store-bought pizza dough is stocked refrigerated at most Canadian grocery chains.
