RECIPES
PIDE WITH SPINACH AND FETA
Makes 2 loaves
INGREDIENTS
1 tablespoon instant dried yeast
1 ½ cups lukewarm water
½ teaspoon sugar
3 cups bakers flour
1 teaspoon salt
¼ cup olive oil
1 x 60g egg, beaten
1 tablespoon milk
Nigella or sesame seeds
Lemon wedges, to serve
Filling
1 bunch English spinach
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, crushed
160g goats feta, crumbled
METHOD
1. Combine yeast, water and sugar in
a bowl and stir until yeast is mixed
through. Set aside in a warm place for 15
minutes or until the mixture becomes
frothy.
2. Place flour, salt, olive oil and yeast
mixture into a bowl; using the dough
hooks knead for 8 minutes on speed 1.
TIP
Mixture is quite sticky so don’t be
tempted to add more flour.
3. Turn mixture out onto a lightly floured
surface and lightly knead to a ball. Place
dough into lightly oiled bowl; cover and
rest in a warm place for 30 minutes or
until doubled in size.
4. Meanwhile, trim spinach and roughly
chop. Wash spinach and leaving the
leaves wet, heat in a frying pan until just
wilted. Drain spinach and cool. Once
cool squeeze out excess liquid.
5. Heat oil in a frying pan over a low/
medium heat. Cook onions and garlic
until softened. Allow to cool slightly.
6. Preheat oven to 250°C no fan
(230°C with fan).
7. Once doubled in size, turn again onto a
lightly floured surface and lightly knead
just enough to bring dough together. Cut
dough in half. Using your hands gently
stretch the dough to make a rough
rectangle, about 35cmx20cm. Place onto
a sheet of baking paper.
8. Combine onion mixture, spinach and
feta and season with pepper. Place half
of the filling over the dough lengthways.
Pull the sides of the dough over the
filling and pinch the sides to seal,
leaving a little opening in the middle.
Brush with combined egg and milk and
sprinkle with nigella or sesame seeds.
Repeat with remaining dough and filling.
9. Place a baking tray in the oven for 5
minutes to heat. Transfer pide with
baking paper onto the hot tray and bake
for 10-15 minutes or until golden. Repeat
with second pide.
Serve warm with lemon wedges.
TIP
Unless you have a large oven we
recommend baking one at a time.
