The Tale of Turkish Pide
Story updated
Often called "Turkish pizza," pide is a boat-shaped flatbread rooted in Anatolian baking traditions going back centuries, closely related to other Middle Eastern flatbreads. Regional Turkish cities, especially in the Black Sea and eastern areas, developed their own distinctive pide styles and toppings.
