Spinach & cheese pide


Ingredients

  • 300g strong white bread flour, plus extra for dusting
  • 1 tsp caster sugar
  • 1 tsp fast-action dried yeast
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 2 tbsp chopped dill
  • 1 white onion, finely chopped
  • 240g spinach
  • 1 tsp whole cumin seeds
  • 50g firm goat's cheese, crumbled

Method

Mix the flour, yeast, sugar, and 1 tsp of sea salt together in a large bowl. Stir in the 80 ml of water and the oil to make a firm, smooth dough (you may need to add a little more water). Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and knead for 5 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic. Return the dough to the bowl, cover it, and let it rise in a warm place for about an hour, or until it has doubled in size.

Make the filling in the meantime. In a frying pan, heat the oil over medium heat and cook the onion for about 5 minutes, or until it becomes clear. Add the cumin and spinach and continue cooking for about 5 minutes, or until the spinach has wilted and any liquid has evaporated. Take it off the heat and let it cool down.

When the dough has risen, turn the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Put the dough on a lightly floured surface and cut it into four pieces. Roll each piece into a ball, and then flatten each ball into a rough oval shape that is about 3–4 mm thick. Place the dough ovals on a non-stick baking sheet that is about 30 cm by 20 cm.

Spoon the cooled spinach filling into the middle of each oval of dough, leaving a 2cm border around the edges. Goat cheese and dill are put on top of the filling. Fold the sides of the dough in about 1 cm, so that they slightly overlap the filling, and bring the ends together to make a point. To keep the ends in place, you may need to twist them a little and press them down.

Once all four pide are put together, brush the dough with an egg that has been beaten. Bake the dough for 10 to 15 minutes, or until it is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. Serve hot (any leftovers can also be eaten cold).
