Spiced Aubergine Pide (Vegan Turkish Flatbread Pizza)

July 29, 2018 / Niki / 24 Comments

I know I say this all the time but this is definitely a new favourite recipe, I really hope you love it as much as me.

My classic dough which is fantastic for pitta bread, pizza, flatbreads and now my version of pide (Turkish flatbread pizza).

I first tasted these amazing Turkish pizzas when I went to Turkey as a teenager – I went for the whole summer with a friend and in fact it was my first trip without my parents and an adventure I will never forget (but that’s another story 😉)

These cute little boat shaped pide’s are filled with a gorgeous mix of spiced aubergine, creamy coconut mint dip, fresh mint, popping pomegranate seeds and pistachio Dukkah. The flavours and textures are incredibly fresh and delicious.

I hope you love these as much as I do xxx

I'd love to know if you made this recipe.

Spiced Aubergine Pide (Vegan Turkish Flatbread Pizza)

Ingredients

To make the dough;

400g white organic flour
1/4 tsp sea salt
1 tsp quick yeast
1 tsp sugar
2 tbsp olive oil
350ml luke warm water
Mix together – leave for a few minutes

To make the aubergine filling;

1 onion finely chopped
1 tbsp olive oil
2 cloves garlic finely chopped
1 tsp cumin seeds
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 chilli flakes
1 medium aubergine cut into 1 cm cubes
3 tomatoes choppped
1/2 tsp sea salt
Pinch sumac
Big handful mint roughly chopped

Coconut mint dip;

3 tbsp coconut yogurt
Juice 1/2 lemon
1 tbsp olive oil
1 clove garlic grated
Big pinch sea salt
2 tbsp fresh mint chopped

Toppings;

Pistachio Dukkah
Pomegranates
Fresh mint

Directions

To make the dough;

Add the flour and salt to a large bowl – mix well.
Mix the yeast, sugar, olive oil with the luke warm water and leave for a minute or so.
Create a hole in the middle of the flour and gradually add the liquid until you have a dough.
Tip the dough onto a floured chopping board. Knead for a few minutes until the dough is springy.
Transfer back to the bowl and cover with a damp cloth for about an hr. The dough should have doubled in size.
Transfer back onto the floured chopping board and knead again to knock back.

To make the pide;

Add the onion to a large pan with the olive oil and sauté for 10 minutes on a low heat. Add in the spices, garlic and fry for a further few minutes.
Add in the chopped aubergine, stir and fry for a minute on a low heat.
Add in the chopped tomatoes, stir to combine.
Cover the pan and let it cook for 15 minutes – Stirring occasionally.
Add in the sumac and the chopped mint. Stir to combine.
Heat the oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Divide the dough into 4, then roll out into long oval shapes.
Pinch the dough at each end so you are making a slipper shape.
Spoon the aubergine mix onto the central part of each pide, leaving a space around the edge.
Then fold the edges up and over the filling a little.
Lightly oil a large baking tray and carefully transfer each pide onto it. Bake for 15 minutes, until the crust is cooked and a little golden.
Remove from the oven, allow to cool a little and top with the mint dip, fresh mint, pomegranate seeds and Dukkah.

To make the Coconut mint dip;

Add all the ingredients to a jar and mix to combine.
Add a little water to loosen if desired

  This recipe doesn’t really work gluten free flour, but you can make a buckwheat or gram flour flatbread and top as per the recipe.

Hi Niki!
I’m so frustrated! I’ve tried all your doughs, even the beet flatbread, and I end up with goop that doesn’t make a dough at all, what am I doing wrong, please? Love your cookbook by the way!!!
Kindest regards, Melissa

  Hi Melissa
  Oh no! That so weird.. should definitely work.
  Is it to wet or too dry? Basically if its too wet add more flour little by little and keep kneading. And the same if its too fry, keep adding a tiny bit of water and keep kneading and it should come together.
  Let me know how you get on!
  So happy you love my book!
  Much love, Niki xxx
