Turkish Buttered Pide Recipe!

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven on upper and lower heat, without a fan to 280 C (536 F). If you have a baking stone, place it into the bottom of your oven. You can use a cast iron pan instead of a baking stone.
2. Mix the water and yeast in a cup and add the sugar. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, melt the butter and let it cool down. Butter shouldn’t be hot while adding it to the dough.
4. Mix the flour and salt in a large bowl. Add in the melted butter and yeast.
5. Mix and knead the dough for about 6 minutes until you have a smooth and elastic dough.
6. Rub the dough and the bowl with oil and cover with a damped kitchen cloth. Let the dough rise for 40-45 minutes at room temperature.
7. After rising, transfer the dough to your counter and divide it into two equal balls.
8. Dust your work surface with flour and flatten the balls. Shape them into 15-20 cm (4-8 in) rounds with your hands. You can use a rolling pin for shaping as well.
9. Dust your wooden cutting board with flour and place the shaped dough on it. Cover with a kitchen cloth and let it proof for 15 minutes.
10. Beat the egg and brush on top of the dough. Sprinkle the sesame seeds and nigella seeds.
11. Slide the dough from the peel onto the baking stone, which is already hot, and bake for 11-12 minutes.
12. Take out the bread and let it rest on a cooling rack for 5 minutes. Voila! Your crunchy outside, soft and warm inside is ready.
13. To make the mind-blowing sandwich, halve the bread and spread it with 2 tablespoons of cream cheese.
14. Mix the rest of the cream cheese with 3 tablespoons of pickle juice. Add in the Manyas cheese, black pepper, and red pepper. Give it a last mix.
15. Layer over the cured meat slices, cream cheese mixture, pickles, and lettuce.
16. Crumble some chips and pop the other half of the bread on top. You can spread some more cream cheese on the sides of the sandwich and dip it into the chip crumble!
