Turkish Buttered Pide Recipe! Eat it with Doner, Shawarma, Hummus, Your Sandwiches and Everything!

Around 10 months ago, in our first döner video, we used this flatbread to make the döner sandwich. Ever since then, you’ve been asking for the recipe! Today, we are making that bread with Burak (a.k.a bread man). You may use the bread for döner or make a delicious sandwich like I did in the video. Even on its own, it will blow your mind! 😍

200 gr all-purpose flour
120 ml water, lukewarm
2 tablespoons butter (50 gr)
1 teaspoon dry yeast
A pinch of sugar
1 heaped teaspoon salt
1 egg
1 teaspoon sesame seeds
1 teaspoon nigella seeds
For the sandwich,
4 tablespoons cream cheese
40 g Manyas cheese, diced (you can use parmesan or any other aged cheese)
5 slices smoked and cured meat (any kind of cured meat would do great)
2 pickled cucumbers, diced
Baby lettuce leaves
A pinch of black pepper
A pinch of red pepper
Chips
• Preheat your oven on upper and lower heat, without 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 baking stone.
• Mix the water and yeast in a cup and add the sugar. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, melt the butter and let it cool down. Butter shouldn’t be hot while adding it into the dough.
• Mix the flour and salt in a large bowl. Add in the melted butter and yeast.
• Mix and knead the dough for about 6 minutes until you have smooth and elastic dough.
• 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.
• After rising, transfer the dough on your counter and divide into two equal balls.
• 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.
• 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.
• Beat the egg and brush on top of the dough. Sprinkle the sesame seeds and nigella seeds.
• Slide the dough from the peel onto the baking stone, which is already hot, and bake for 11-12 minutes.
• 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.
• To make the mind-blowing sandwich, halve the bread and spread it with 2 tablespoons cream cheese.
• 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.
• Layer over the cured meat slices, cream cheese mixture, pickles and lettuce.
• 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!

My grandkids are coming and I will make this with my grandson, age 5. He loves to bake. His mama loves pickles so there is much to share from your videos. Thank you for every one of your videos. Winter here in Alaska is windy and cold, so warm bread and making things from scratch is necessary as there is so little world food in our part of the state. Blessins!!

[@worldcitizeng6507]

Hello, just a random question, when is the best time to see the northern lights in Alaska? and what temperature will it be during that particular month? I'm in California :) I'm hoping to see the northern lights if we still can't travel abroad.

[@bauerhausws7611]

Ah wintertime in Fairbanks Alaska is the best time and place to see the Northern Lights. University of Alaska Fairbanks studies the Northern Lights.

10 years ago I ate a doner in a shop in Germany and I fell in love with Turkish food. I kept trying to explain the sandwich to everyone and the best I had was, "it's like a kabob but with a slaw and on this really good bread, not naan." NOW I CAN MAKE IT!

[@elkeschmitt623]

I do miss my doner kabob as well- I have not yet found one here in the US. Good luck making it.

[@azbeaux]

I’m in love. Burak is adorable. I so wish I wasn’t an old lady. Another fab video. It made me happy because one of the best times I had in Istanbul was when it snowed. So many happy memories. My favourite city in the world.

For the tiles, I go to Home Depot and buy 12"x12" ceramic tiles with a glazed finish. They are about $1.25 each. I put the tile right on the oven rack or on an outdoor gas grill.

[@cassieoz1702]

The use of the fire bricks is a great idea

[@randydavis1969]

Gosh that looked so tasty, but something tells me that bread fresh out of the oven would also taste just as heavenly with butter and honey.

[@uweschroeder]

Depending on your oven you should not place anything on the very bottom. Most ovens have a heating element below the bottom and that could overheat if you place something on the bottom of the oven. Check your oven's manual whether you can place something on the bottom or if in doubt simply put the tray on the lowest rack.

[@gabelstapler19]

Yes! Finally! Thank you! A yufka recipe next, please?!

[@FB-st1sl]

Hi :-) What you‘re asking for with yufka is probably lavaş in Turkish. In German-speaking countries thy call lavaş yufka. Yufka is a super thin layer of dough - much like filo dough. So if you ask sb to make yufka you’d not be able to put döner in it. Or you could and you’d get börek with döner inside ;-)
