One of my favourite meals to prepare. It is a lot of work, especially with two children

But well worth it in my opinion...

Turkish Pide
Dough
• 500g/1.1lbs bread flour(I added some wholemeal flour into the mix)
• 1.5 tablespoons instant dried yeast
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 275-300ml/9.7-10.6fl ozs. lukewarm water
• 25ml/1oz. olive oil
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1/4 cup olive oil extra for brushing
Filling (enough filling for 8)
• 1 tablespoon oil
• 1 large onion or 2 medium, diced
• 4 cloves garlic, peeled and diced
• 750g/26.5ozs. minced beef (not lean)
• 1 medium green capsicum, diced
• 1 medium red capsicum, diced
• 5 tablespoons capsicum or red pepper puree
• 3 tablespoons tomato paste
• 3 small red chillies, finely chopped (use large if you don't want it too hot)
• 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
• 2 teaspoons ground cumin
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 bunch parsley, chopped
• Grated cheese optional
• Tabasco sauce and lemon wedges to serve
Step 1 - Make the dough. Add the flour, yeast, sugar, 275ml water and oil (do not add salt yet). Knead on a lowest speed until elastic. Add more water if needed. Form into a large ball and then place in a large bowl (the mixer bowl will do) and cover with cling film and allow to rise until triple in size, about an hour. As it is Winter I placed it in an oven that I preheated to 50C/122F and then turned off
Step 2 - While the dough is rising, make the filling. Heat the oil in a large frypan and add the onion and garlic and saute for a minute or two. Add the minced beef making sure to break up any large chunks. Fry for a couple of minutes, then add the capsicum, capsicum paste, tomato paste, chillies, smoked paprika, ground cumin, salt and pepper. Fry until cooked, about 5 minutes. Add 3/4 of the parsley reserving 1/4 of the bunch to decorate. pide2.jpg
