Divide Dough Balls
Punch down the dough, divide into 8 pieces, shape into balls, and place on a tray.
Shape the Pide
Roll each ball into an elongated pide shape and transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Form Edges and Apply Egg
Fold the edges inward and brush with egg yolk for a golden crust.
Bake
Bake in a preheated 230°C oven for 15–20 minutes until edges are golden and filling is cooked.
