• 1 teaspoon Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 150 milliliters Warm water
• 1 medium, diced Red bell pepper
• 1 medium, diced Green bell pepper

• 1 Egg

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt.

Step 2

Add the olive oil and warm water to the dry ingredients, and mix until a dough forms.

Step 3

Knead the dough on a floured surface for 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.

Step 4

Place the dough into a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and leave it in a warm place to rise for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

Step 5

While the dough is rising, prepare the filling. In a large bowl, combine the diced red and green bell peppers, diced tomato, spinach leaves, feta cheese, mozzarella cheese, red onion, minced garlic, parsley, paprika, and black pepper. Mix well.

Step 6

After the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 4 equal portions.

Step 7

Preheat your oven to 220°C (430°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 8

Roll out each portion of dough into an oval shape, approximately 25 cm long and 10 cm wide.

Step 9

Place the rolled-out dough on the prepared baking sheet and spoon the filling mixture onto the center of each oval, leaving a 2 cm border around the edges.

Step 10

Fold the edges of the dough over slightly to form a boat shape, pinching the ends closed.

Step 11

Brush the edges of the dough with a beaten egg for a golden finish.

Step 12

Bake the pides in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden and cooked through.

Step 13

Remove the pides from the oven, let them cool for a few minutes, and serve warm.
