Pide Again?? Erk..

I know, I know.. It's kindda membosankan bila asyik masak benda yang sama je. Kat rumah ni, aku masak nasik and lauk for the girls, but sometimes, bila dah siap, aku terlalu penat nak ambik gambar.

Pide ni hubby yang request. Kebetulan aku ada minced mutton dalam freezer. Aku pun terpaksa la jadi isteri mithali dan menguli dough pada pukul 6.45am. Why so early? Because he has meeting pagi2. Lepas exercise je, aku dah kena siapkan his lunch box. Nasib baik le semalam panas, kejap je dough aku dah kembang.

As for the girls, I cooked their favourite! Meehoon sup with pegedil udang kering. Aku suka sangat makan pegedil udang kering. Sedap!! I learned the recipe from Ella. Thank you Ella. Recipe mak mertua engkau tu memang sedap. Sejak belajar masak pegedil cara mak mertua Ella, aku dah tak penah masak pegedil daging or ayam. Thank you again Ella.

This time aku guna minced mutton and sprinkled with grated cheddar cheese.

 Why am I feeling hungry now? huhuhu..

Cantik tak timun aku tu? Cuba teka, timun betul ke timun palsu?

As always, when it comes to pide, aku akan guna recipe Citra. Her recipe works and the pide turned out to be so delicious.

Adapted from Citra

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.

2. Mix the dry ingredients, then make a hole, pour in the wet ingredients. Knead the dough until it no longer stick to your hands. I used stand mixer :)

3. Cover the dough, let it  rise until it double the size.

Filling ingredients
1/2kg of minced mutton
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
shredded cheddar cheese
 

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. Sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese

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.
