Low-Carb Turkish Pide

Recipes

Recipe makes 4 servings

Ingredients:

For the Dough:
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
2 Tbsp cream cheese
1 cup almond flour
¼ cup coconut flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 large egg

For the Filling:
10oz (300g) ground beef
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 small tomato, finely diced
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 tsp paprika
½ tsp cumin
½ tsp chili flakes (optional)
¼ tsp cinnamon (optional)
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
¼ cup chopped parsley

For Garnish:
1 egg yolk, beaten (for brushing)
Sesame seeds (optional)

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the shredded mozzarella and cream cheese together in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth.

Add almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and the egg to the melted cheese mixture. Mix well until a dough forms.

Knead the dough for 2-3 minutes until smooth. If sticky, lightly dust with almond or coconut flour.

Divide the dough into 2 portions. Roll each portion into an oval shape on parchment paper (about ¼ inch thick). Set aside.

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened.

Add the ground beef and cook until browned. Drain excess fat if needed.

Stir in diced tomato, paprika, cumin, chili flakes, cinnamon, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook until the mixture thickens and the tomatoes soften (about 5-7 minutes).

Remove from heat and stir in the chopped parsley. Let it cool slightly.

Spoon the beef mixture onto each oval of dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges. Fold the edges inward slightly and pinch the ends to create a “boat” shape.

Brush the edges of the dough with beaten egg yolk and sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired.

Transfer the prepared pide to the baking tray and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and cooked through.
