Tavuklu Pide

Aku baru je balik berlari ni. Sampai je rumah, aku terus menguli tepung for today's pide (terima kasih mixer kerana tolong bekerja keras untuk saya). While waiting for the dough to naik, aku masakkan prawn carbonara for the girls. Kejap lagi dia orang balik from school, takyah ler aku susah2 nak masak lunch.

I made pide for lunch/dinner/supper/snacking yesterday too. Well, that was my intention. Tapikan, lepas je dah siap bakar, the pide hanya mampu bertahan for lunch je. Licin!! Unbelievable. And yang peliknya, aku buat using lamb, and still the girls suka sangat2. Siap order lagi hari ni, nak makan pide. Hubby takyah cakap ler, dia dah placed order untuk seminggu. Nasib baik la pide ni senang sesangat nak buat. Just follow the recipe, no need to tweak or twist it, voila! A perfect Pide! (eh! mcm la aku penah rasa pide tu mcm mana.. hehe)

With Shariff and Sofea (my niece, anak adik aku, Izani) yang baru umur 10 bulan in the kitchen, it's difficult to masak. Nasib baik hari ni Raina tak datang sebab mak dia tak keje. Izani left Sofea kat rumah aku semalam for 3 days sebab dia and his wife kena pegi camping with their batch. Since both still studying, pastu major sama pulak tu, maka, bila ada activity yg kena buat sama2, terpaksa la tinggal anak tu kat orang. Bertuahnya dia ada kakak macam aku kan? hahahhaa... My girls love it bila ada babies kat rumah. Petang ni pulak ada activity memasak with their cousin, Zuleika. Mampu ke aku handling 5 kids kat rumah? Jangan aku jadi monster dah.

Oh ya! My blog has changed it's appearance and I hate it! Huwaaa... I want my old blog. 

Tavuklu Pide - kurang garing coz semua dah tak sabar nak makan :)

 Lamb Filling.

Ada rupa sampan tak? Aku ni memang tak artistic langsung. Ni macam sampan nak karam je.

Thank you for the delicious recipe! :D

Ingredients for the pide bread

2 cups of flour

2 tsp instant yeast

1/2 tbs sugar

1/2 tsp salt

4 tbs virgin olive oil

3/4 cup luke warm water

1. Take 2 tbs flour, mix with sugar and yeast. Add 1/4 cup of luke warm water and let it stand for 30 minutes.  I didnt have time to proof the yeast. I mix the dry ingredients and make a hole in the center for the wet ingredients. 

2. Mix remaining flour and salt together in another bowl, make a hole in the middle and pour the wet ingredients in. Knead until smooth and the dough no longer stick to your fingers.

3. Cover the dough with cling wrap or a wet napkin. Let it double in volume. 

Filling ingredients
1/2kg of lamb, minced roughly.
2 medium size onions. Chop roughly.

4 clove garlic. finely grated/ chopped.
1/2 bunch chinese celery. roughly chop.
1/2 tbsp Cayenne pepper
1 tbs black pepper
2 tsp salt
2 whole tomatoes - roughly chopped
1 red Chili - roughly chopped
2 tbs Olive oil

1 dried basil leaf - crushed
 

Mix well the ingredients

Assembling the pide :

1. Divide pide dough into few equally sized balls. I made 6 small pide using the dough. 

2. Roll each balls into an oval shape, 0.5cm thickness dough using the rolling pin.

3. Brush the surface with olive oil, place the lamb filling in the middle.

4. Fold the edges of the oval shaped dough into the middle. The pide will look like a small boat.

5. Preheat the oven at 150 degree celcius, bake the pide for about 20-30 minutes.
