Pide (Turkish Bread)

Step 1: Prep the starter & mix the dough

Starter

  • Milk
    200 g
  • Bread flour
    120 g
  • Instant yeast
    10 g
  • Sugar
    4 g

Dough

  • Bread flour
    415 g
  • Water
    245 g
  • Olive Oil
    40 g
  • Salt
    5 g

Warm milk in the microwave for 30 seconds. Combine milk, flour, yeast, and sugar in a large bowl. Stir until dissolved.

Let the mixture stand for 10 minutes until a light foam appears and small bubbles are visible.

  • Proofing is done to test yeast viability. If there is no foam or bubbles, discard and use new yeast.

Add all of the dough ingredients to the starter. Mix until everything is hydrated and it begins to come together. Let it rest for 30 minutes.
