Turkish Pide (Turkish Pizza)

Ingredients:
500 gms flour
325 ml warm water
15 gms yeast
15 gms castor sugar
15 gms salt
1 onion (chopped)
1 tomato (chopped)
200 gms minced lamb
Salt as per taste
Pepper as per taste
Eggs (optional)
3 tablespoons melted butter
3 tablespoons olive oil
300 gms Kashar cheese or any light cheese such as mozzarella or provolone

Method:
In a mixing bowl, add flour, yeast, sugar, salt and warm water. Knead it for 15-20 minutes or 7-8 minutes in a stand mixer with a hook attachment. Once the dough is soft in texture, pour one tablespoon of olive oil so that it doesn’t crack while it’s rising. Let the dough rest for 45 minutes to 1 hour. In a pan, add two tablespoons of olive oil and minced lamb with salt and pepper. Sauté till it’s fully cooked. Once the lamb os cooked, add onions and cook it for about four to five minutes. Add tomatoes and let it cook for another four to five minutes. After that, take the pan off the flame.

Once the dough has risen, dust a board with some flour and put the dough on the board. Divide the dough into four or six or eight parts depending on the size required. Roll out one part of the dough into a rectangular shape and add the lamb filling in the centre and seal the sides. Put a whole egg in the centre (optional) and add some grated cheese on top. Bake it for seven to eight minutes in a preheated oven at the highest temperature possible. Once the pide is ready, brush some melted butter on the edges.
