Method

1. 1

   Mix flour, yeast, sugar, salt, and lukewarm water in a bowl to knead a soft dough, then let it rise.

2. 2

   Prepare the filling by combining ground beef, finely chopped onion, and grated tomatoes in a bowl.

3. 3

   Divide the risen dough into portions, roll them into oval shapes, and fold the edges to form pide boats.

4. 4

   Spread the meat filling in the center of the dough and bake in a preheated oven at 200°C until golden brown.

5. 5

   Place the baked hot pides on a serving plate and ladle hot meat broth over them to lightly soak the base.

6. 6

   Drizzle with melted butter, slice, and serve hot.

Note. Be careful not to over-soak the bread with broth; it should be moist but still retain its structure.
