Pide, often referred to as Turkish pizza, is a boat-shaped flatbread topped with ingredients such as ground meat, sausage, cheese and/or vegetables. We use store-bought pizza dough to make these simplified ground-meat kiymali pide, and after baking we finish them with chopped onion and tomato dressed with lemon juice and olive oil, a nontraditional touch that brightens up the colors and flavors. Room-temperature dough is much easier to shape than cold dough, so be sure to allow yours to come to room temperature before use.
Don’t use a lower oven rack to bake the pide. The upper-middle rack puts the flatbreads closer to the heating element so the topping gets nice browning. Don’t worry if there are juices pooled in the edges of the pide immediately after baking. They will be absorbed by the crust as the pide cool for 5 minutes before serving.
