What You Need For This Recipe
To make these Turkish pide sandwiches you need a couple of ingredients that you can make or buy. I made them but if you want to keep it simple just buy them in the store. You need:
- Pide bread (1 loaf or 2 small pide buns)
- Hummus
- Sun-dried tomatoes
- Arugula lettuce
- Avocado
- Bell pepper
Note that the full ingredients list, including measurements, can be found in the recipe card below.
How To Make Turkish Bread Sandwiches
- Pide is a great soft and fluffy bread. Instead of using a big bread in this recipe, I made smaller pide bread buns.
- It is very easy to make Turkish pide bread buns yourself. Instead of making one big loaf of bread, divide the dough into four.
- Roll the dough into four equal-sized buns and bake them the same way as you would the loaf.
- If you have store-bought pide bread sprinkle it with water and bake it in the oven at 450℉/225℃ for 5 minutes.
- Let them cool slightly and cut them in half.
- Now assemble the pide sandwich. This recipe requires hummus and homemade hummus is so delicious.
- Made with chickpeas and a good food processor you can make it while the bread is in the oven. I love how the garlic adds a sharpness to the soft chickpeas as it combines into hummus.
- Take a couple of tablespoons of hummus and spread it on the bread. Then add arugula lettuce on top of the hummus.
- Slice avocado into thin slices. Put 3 to 4 slices of avocado on top of the arugula. Slice the bell pepper into super thin slices a la julienne and put the slices on the avocado.
- To finish this sandwich top it off with sun-dried tomatoes and you are ready to serve.
Lunch Sandwich Recipe
This recipe is all about the bread or pide ekmek. When I lived on the west side of Amsterdam you had a Turkish bakery on just about every street corner.
They sold all kinds of bread. From regular Turkish pide bread to Uzun which is long pide bread, or covered with ground beef, and all sorts of buns.
When I was in elementary school, we had several Turkish children in my class. They would always share the most delicious bread with us.
I can still remember how good these tasted, baked by the mommas. At birthday parties we would eat things I never had before. One dish is even more delicious than the other. Turkish pide bread was always served.
When Turkish bread became widely available, we would buy it in the store and eat it on the weekend. With bell pepper and cheese, there was nothing more you need.
Now I also make it myself.

More Sandwich Ingredient Options
This recipe has a great bite but there are more ingredients that you can use on your pide sandwich, like:
- Rustic tapenade – either made with olives or tomato tapenade is great on this sandwich. Use it as a substitute for the hummus or on top of the hummus.
- Olives – slice the olives ultra-thin and sprinkle them on top of the hummus.
- Guacamole – you just can’t go wrong with this guacamole, especially with hummus and tomatoes.
- Sliced pickles – a common ingredient to use here in the Netherlands. Long sliced pickle is called Amsterdammers after my hometown.
