Kiymali Pide (Minced-Meat Flatbread)

If you like pizza dough, you’ll love this Turkish dinner — 60 minutes from craving to table. Each serving lands at 580 calories with 30g of protein, so it eats like a much heavier meal. It scales cleanly if you are cooking for more than one.

Ingredients

• 1 lb Pizza dough
• 0.75 lb Ground beef
• 1 Onion
• 2 Tomatoes
• 1 Bell pepper
• 0.5 cup Parsley
• 2 Eggs
• 2 tbsp Butter
• 1 tsp Paprika
• 2 tsp Salt

Steps

1. Mix the beef with finely diced onion, tomatoes, bell pepper, parsley, paprika, and salt. Keep the filling loose — a dense filling makes a heavy pide.
2. Divide the dough into 4 pieces and roll each into a long oval, about 12 inches. The shape should suggest a boat, not a pizza.
3. Spread the filling down the center of each oval, leaving a 1-inch border. Fold the edges up over the filling and pinch the ends to form the boat shape.
4. Beat one egg and brush it over the exposed dough edges for a glossy, golden crust. Dot the filling with small pieces of butter.
5. Bake at 475°F for 12 to 14 minutes, until the crust is deep golden and the filling is cooked through and sizzling.
6. Slide onto a board, brush the crust with a little more butter, and serve hot — pide waits for no one.
