Just like with pita bread this bread is readily available in a lot of supermarkets and bakeries. However, you can easily make this bread yourself. So, are you ready to learn how to make Turkish pide bread? Let’s get started!

Pide Bread Ingredients

What do you need to make this pide bread recipe yourself? To make one bread I use the following ingredients:

All-purpose flour
Instant yeast
Salt
Sugar
Warm water
Vegetable oil
Sesame seeds

You can find all the ingredient amounts and instructions in the recipe card at the bottom of this post.

How To Make Pide Bread

The secret to this great Pide bread recipe is to give the dough time to proof and this recipe needs to be proofed twice.

The first time when the dough is combined. This takes about 1-1½ hours. The second time when the dough is rolled into a circle on a baking tray.

Then it requires another proof of about half an hour to 1 hour.

You make the dough by first letting the yeast activate. So, add the instant yeast to warm water and add sugar.

Set aside and let it froth and bubble for about 10 minutes.

Then combine flour and salt and stir it thoroughly before you add the yeast mixture. Knead your dough through for about 8 minutes and add some vegetable oil like olive oil.

Knead the dough again and put it in a bowl brushed with oil and brush the dough also. Cover the bowl with cling film and let the dough be proof for 1 hour.

Now knead the dough again and roll it into a circle on top of baking paper. Carve the bread with a knife and brush it with water so you can sprinkle sesame seeds on top.

Cover again with plastic wrap and let it proof for half an hour. Preheat your oven to 440℉/200℃ and bake for 25-30 minutes.

Your pide bread is ready to serve.

When we lived in our previous home near the center of Amsterdam you could find a Turkish baker on just about every street corner.

They would bake fresh bread all day long and it would cost close to nothing. This pide bread is great with dips and spreads or with a stew.

You can eat it any time of the day.

Now that we leave in a different part of Amsterdam where there are no Turkish bakeries around. So, I make this bread myself.
