Pide

Tavuklu Pide

Tavuklu pide is the light, mild boat on the Turkish pide board: lean fresh chicken, peppers and kaşar on a long pinched trough, baked fast so the base sets before the bird can weep its water into it.

Sucuklu Pide

Sucuklu pide is the open Turkish boat: a pinched, rimmed flatbread baked uncovered in a wood oven so the garlicky sucuk crisps on top and renders its fat straight down into the crust.

Peynirli Pide

Peynirli pide is the cheese build of Turkey's boat-shaped bread: a dough oval pinched into walls, a beyaz-and-lor curd between salt and bland, the crust torn off in strips. A Black Sea form.

Patatesli Pide

Patatesli pide is the meatless, low-cost member of the pide family: spiced boiled potato spread down a baked dough boat, where the seasoning of the potato is the whole flavour and the bake the rest.

Pastırmalı Pide

Pastırmalı pide tops the open boat with pastırma, Kayseri's air-dried beef sheathed in a çemen crust of fenugreek and garlic. The oven only warms the spice paste until it blooms over melted kaşar.

Kavurmalı Pide

Kavurmalı pide carries kavurma, meat slow-cooked in its own fat until it shreds and keeps like a confit. On the open boat the oven only reheats it, since this filling arrives already fully cooked.
