Ingredients
  

Pizza Base:

  • 1.5 cups Wholewheat flour stone milled
  • 1/4 cup All purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup finger millet flour
  • 1.5 tsp Instant yeast
  • 1.25 cups Warm water adjust to flour type / quantities
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1.5 TBSP Sugar
  • 5 TBSP Olive Oil divided use

For the Spinach -Corn - Cheese version:

  • 1/2 cup Spinach finely chopped
  • 1/3 cup corn American , boiled with a pinch of salt, drained
  • 2 TBSP Coriander walnut pesto optional, use pizza sauce too
  • 1/2 cup Mozarella cheese
  • 1/2 tsp Salt – to taste adjust as mozzarella is quite salty
  • 1 tsp Black sesame seeds to top

For the roasted Bell Pepper - Cheese version:

  • 1/2 cup Roasted Bell pepper juilenned
  • 1/2 cup Cheese –grated
  • 1/2 cup Onions sliced thin
  • 1 tsp Dried herbs oregano / basil – to taste
  • 1 tsp Black Olives halved, pitted
  • 1 Tomato sliced thick
  • 1/2 tsp Salt or to taste

Instructions
 

  • Sift all three flours with salt. Keep aside. Proof yeast with sugar and warm water.
  • Once done, make a dough adding as much water as required to make a dough.Oil the dough and keep it
  • aside for 1-1.5 hours till doubled. Punch down a bit.
  • Divide dough into 2-3 portions (depending on how big a pizza you need). On a floured surface, roll the
  • portions into a rectangle.
  • With the help of your fingers, fold the edges and the tips to make a boat like structure.
  • Brush oil on top, cover and let them rise for 30—40 mins more.
  • Now preheat oven towards end of the second rise, place the ‘boats’ gently on the baking sheet (silicone mats
  • are great for this purpose).
  • Mix the toppings without the cheese and keep it ready .
  • Brush the edges with milk if need be (I didn’t do) & sprinkle sesame seeds.
  • Top with the two kind of toppings and cheese, and bake for 15-18 mins.

Notes

Tips and Tricks for the best Pide / Turkish pizza:
  1. Keep all ingredients at room temperature
  2. You can use only APF for this pizza. Hydration and bake times will vary
  3. Bake times differ from oven to oven, see what works for your recipe.
  4. As I have used a mix of millet, wholewheat and APF, there won't be much rise in 2 hours. Howver, the dough becomes strtchy and bouncy. 
  5. If using APF alone, the rise may be quicker, perhaps 90 minutes, depending on the humidity/location
  6. Toppings can be customised as per liking. You may add more cheese, veggies / topping as per your liking.
