Bafra Pidesi
Not a round flatbread but a long sealed boat, often near ninety centimetres, the Bafra pidesi bakes beef inside thin crisp dough and butters it hot: a protected Black Sea name.

A long, thin Black Sea pide from Bafra: hand-stretched, wood-fired, brushed with village butter, and sold under a registered geographical indication.
Açık means open, and a pide is open almost by default, so the word is a retronym: the rimmed boat of dough with its topping baked open needs a name only because the Black Sea seals its kapalı shut.
