Weeknight Cheese Pide (Turkish Pizza)

(Scroll down for the recipe and watch me make it in stories!)

Tonight I paired up with @rhodesbread to showcase their frozen dinner rolls which was so fantastic because it’s basically ready made frozen dough!

And the first thing I wanted to make…Pide!

A Turkish style of pizza that can be filled with anything you like, but I kept it comforting with fresh mozzarella and tangy goat cheese and finished with Fleur de sel, bright sumac and sesame seeds for added texture.

Makes 2 Pide
Ingredients:

Flour for dusting
6 Rhodes Dinner Rolls
8 ounces mozzarella, roughly torn up or shredded
4 ounces crumbled goat cheese
Egg, whisked for egg wash

Toppings:
Coarse salt such as Flour de Sea
Sumac
Aleppo Pepper
Sesame Seeds
Chopped fresh mint

Place frozen rolls on a baking sheet sprayed with cooking spray and let rise in the fridge overnight until double in size.

When ready to make, remove from the fridge and leave them at room temperature as you prep.

Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and lightly dust your work surface with flour.

Press 3 balls of dough together and roll into a long oval shape. Then scatter half of the cheese down the middle of the dough, leaving a border to fold over. Repeat with other half.
Once folded, transfer to a parchment lined baking sheet.

Fold the crusts in and taper the ends, gently pressing down and brush the crust with egg wash.

Top the Pide with salt, sumac, Aleppo pepper and sesame seeds and bake at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 minutes until cheese is bubbly and crust is lightly holden brown.

Top with chopped mint and serve.
