This pide has become a weeknight staple in our house! It’s so simple to throw together and the taste is incredible. The dough turns smooth and elastic after kneading, and the filling is a flavorful blend of ground beef, red bell pepper, ripe tomato, and onion, seasoned with paprika, salt, and pepper. The boat-shaped dough holds the filling perfectly, and the scallions on top add a fresh finish. Sharing the recipe so you can enjoy...
