How to Make Pide

• Mix all the ingredients other than egg yolk and seeds.
• Make it into a smooth dough using an electric mixer or by using your hands.
• Place the dough in a clean oiled bowl and cover it with a cling film.
• Leave it in a warm place until swells to nearly double its size.
• Take the dough, punch it down gently and divide it into three equal rounds.
• Shape each piece into a ball and roll it into a round of about 6inches in diameter.
• Cover it with an oiled cling film and leave for about 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile preheat the oven to 230 degree Celsius.
• Just before baking the bread, make ridges all over the surface of the bread using your fingers, place the bread on a floured baking sheet, brush on top with the egg glaze and sprinkle it with seeds.
• Bake it in the hot oven for 9 to 10 minutes or until puffed and golden in colour. Serve immediately.
