Here's an everyday favourite you're sure to be whipping up every week once you've tried it!

This vegetarian pide recipe includes a tasty combination of tomatoes, capsicums, a mix of mozzarella and feta, some herbs and then topped with eggs.

This is one the kids will loved getting involved with - simply lay out your dough and all of the ingredients, and let the pide making party begin!

Ingredients

Dough 

  • ½ cup (125ml) warm water 
  • 2 tsp (7g) dried yeast 
  • 1 tsp sugar 
  • 2 ⅓ cups (350g) plain flour, plus extra for dusting 
  • 1 tsp salt 
  • 1 egg 
  • ⅓ cup (95g) plain Greek yoghurt 
  • tbsp olive oil, plus extra for greasing 

 
Filling 

  • 1 cup (100g) grated mozzarella 
  • 1 cup (100g) grated cheddar cheese 
  • 150g Danish feta, crumbled 
  • 8 cherry tomatoes, halved 
  • 1 green capsicum, seeded and thinly sliced 
  • ½ tsp ground cumin 
  • 5 eggs  
  • 1 tsp olive oil 
  • Lemon wedges and chilli flakes, to serve (optional) 
     

Method

Dough 

  1. Mix water, yeast and sugar together. Stand for 5 minutes to activate the yeast.  
  2. Combine flour and salt in large mixing bowl and make a well in the centre. 
  3. Add egg, yoghurt and oil, along with frothy yeast mixture. Mix until dough comes together to form a sticky shaggy dough.  
  4. Tip onto a floured bench and knead for 2-3 minutes. Grease mixing bowl with oil, add dough and toss to coat. Cover and set aside in a warm place to double in size (about 1 hour). 
  5. Place risen dough onto floured bench and knead again for a further 2 minutes. Divide into 4 and roll out each dough ball to form 35cm long by 20cm wide oval shapes, approx. 5mm thick. 

Assembly 

  1. Preheat oven to 200°C/180°C (fan-forced) and line baking trays with baking paper.  Place rolled out dough onto trays. Sprinkle mozzarella, cheddar and feta cheese evenly over the centre of each dough, leaving a 2cm border at the edge with no filling. Scatter over tomatoes, capsicum and cumin. 
  2. Fold in the sides and squeeze dough at each end to make it pointy. Beat 1 egg with 1 tsp olive oil and brush edges. Bake 12-15 minutes or until pide is golden.  
  3. Remove pides from oven and carefully make an indent into the filling of each pide. Crack an egg into indents and bake a further 6-7 minutes; the eggs whites should be set with the yolk still runny. Stand for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with chilli flakes (if using) and serve with lemon wedges. 

Notes

Tip:

Dough can be made in advance and refrigerated until needed. Store cooked pide in the refrigerator for 1-2 days in a sealed container. Reheat in a low oven or in microwave until just warmed through.
