TURKISH PIDE TWO WAYS (TURKISH PIZZA WITH TWO DIFFERENT TOPPINGS)

Turkish Pide Two Ways (Turkish Pizza with Two Different Toppings) by Kati of black.white.vivid. (Vegan Recipe)

I love my life. I wouldn’t want to change anything. The only thing I’m missing are family food traditions. There are just a few rare moments in my childhood that I associate with the kitchen and eating. Most of them are shaped by my two grandmothers, making buttery semolina pudding or cold cherry soup. I would visit either of them during my school holidays and enjoy spending time in the kitchen with them.

At home however cooking was never a huge part of our lives. My mum and dad were working full-time, so I always had lunch at school or later would get one of these microwave meals that come with small compartments of tasteless food. And for dinner we would all to often just have a simple German “Abendbrot” (literally meaning evening bread). There wasn’t much of a cooking process to it as a typical German dinner at home meant slices of sourdough bread and some different kinds of cheeses and cold cuts.

At the time I didn’t mind our simple meals and on weekends my mum would make quick lunches at home. There is also that story that we once were invited to a friend’s house where she cooked homemade tomato sauce with spaghetti for me and all I wanted was ketchup. Ketchup was a stable in our household. Ketchup with rice and eggs or ketchup with pasta. Considering that I haven’t bought a bottle of ketchup in a decade or so, makes it very clear that my food life has changed dramatically over the years. But not just mine, my mum and dad eat very differently now two and the last time they had a proper “Abendbrot” is probably also quite a while ago.

I now appreciate food traditions much more compared to the time I was still living at home. Where I once took family recipes for granted and believed they are nothing special I now treasure its value. Where I once thought convenient and pre-made foods are an essential part of my cooking, I now cherish the moments of making my own pasta or kneading dough for breads and cakes. This change has mainly evolved when I started to travel for food. At the beginning I simply enjoyed discovering and eating new foods. But now I love to understand foreign food, its tradition, its ingredients and its stories. And I try to take these wonderful memories back home and recreate those foods in my own kitchen.

Living in Turkey for 1.5 years now, all things flatbread, pide and lahmacun (different kinds of Turkish pizza) have become a weekly or at least monthly indulgence. Finding vegan or even vegetarian Turkish pide can be quite a challenge. But simply watching the pide bakers kneading the dough, topping it with fresh ingredients and sliding it into the a hot stone oven is already part of a good food experience. And biting into a freshly baked Turkish pide is probably one of the most comforting moments ever. On a recent trip to old Istanbul I tried out a new pide place and loved its pide so much that I was inspired to make one at home too. Ahhh the many joys of Turkish food.

The recipe for my Turkish Pide Two Ways (or also known as Turkish pizza) is ideal for vegans, vegetarians and omnivores. With this pide recipe I introduce a new series on black.white.vivid. with recipes that both vegans/vegetarians and omnivores can eat together. From personal experience I know that it can be sometimes difficult for mixed couples – as in one eats and one doesn’t eat meat. So I came up with a series of recipes that work for vegans and omnivores a like. Usually by just adding only a few more ingredients to the vegan version.

In this pide recipe I call for leftover shakshuka because I still had some left from our weekend breakfast. I didn’t feel like making a new tomato topping when I already had a perfectly seasoned one sitting in the fridge. You can find the recipe for my vegan shakshuka here. For the spinach version I used my first homemade vegan nut cheese. The recipe for the cashew cheese is inspired by Lore of @datesandavocado. But you can also use store-bought vegan cream cheese or any kind of savory cashew cheese cream.

You might think Turkish food is solely based on meat but there are so many amazing Turkish recipes that allow for a vegetarian or in this case a very tasty vegan version.

TURKISH PIDE TWO WAYS (TURKISH PIZZA WITH TWO DIFFERENT TOPPINGS)
Author: Kati
Prep time: 20 mins
Cook time: 10 mins
Total time: 30 mins
Serves: 3-4
Ingredients
  • Pide
  • 140 ml / 0.6 cups lukewarm water
  • 2 tsp coconut sugar
  • 1 tbsp / 3.5 g dried yeast
  • 250 g / 1 cup + 1 tbsp flour
  • 1 tbsp oil
  • 2 tsp salt
  • Tomato Filling
  • 8 tbsp leftover Shakshuka (recipe on my blog)
  • 1 fresh tomato, cubed
  • 1 small handful fresh parsley, chopped
  • For Vegetarian: two egg
  • For Omnivores: 200 g minced beef, cooked
  • Spinach Cheese Filling
  • 75 g / 2.5 cups raw spinach
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1/4 tsp coriander
  • 1 tsp sumac (substitute with 1/2 lemon zest or lemon pepper)
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp sumac (substitute with 1/2 lemon zest or lemon pepper)
  • 10 g / 1/2 cup fresh mint, chopped
  • 100 g / 2-3 tbsp vegan soft cheese (recipe link in text)
  • For Vegetarians: 100 g feta cheese or yellow cheese instead of vegan cheese
Instructions
  1. In a small mixing bowl, combine sugar with water and mix well. Add dry yeast, stir and let it sit for about 10 min or until water is bubbling/creating some foam.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine salt with flour, add oil and yeast water mixture and mix thoroughly to bring the dough together.
  3. Put the dough on a lightly flowered surface, knead for 5 – 10 min (don’t skip this step, it’s essential) and form a ball.
  4. Oil a large bowl and place the dough ball inside, cover with a kitchen towel and leave it at warm place for 60-90 min or until it has slightly increased in size (doesn’t need to double but needs to look fluffy).
  5. In the meantime, combine spinach with oil, garlic powder, coriander, cumin and sumac, mix well and let it sit until the dough is ready.
  6. Heat oven to 220°C/430°F.
  7. When the dough has risen, place it on a lightly floured surface again and knead for a few seconds to release air.
  8. Divide dough into 3 – 4 pieces and roll them into oval shapes (20 x 40 cm (about 8” x 16”), with ½ cm (0.2”) thickness).
  9. Spread shakshuka on two of the four pides and top with sliced tomatoes, leaving a boarder. For Vegetarians, add 1 egg on each pide. For Omnivores, top cooked minced meat on shakshuka filling. Also top the other two pides with the marinated spinach and sprinkle with vegan cheese. For Vegetarians, top it with feta/yellow cheese.
  10. Fold the edges over by 2 cm and pinch both ends to create a boat shape and brush the top of each pide with some oil.
  11. Transfer pides onto parchment lined baking tray and bake in over for 10-12 min.
  12. Sprinkle shakshuka pide with fresh parsely and serve warm.

I‘m really not back in the Instagram groove yet. I‘m really not back in the Instagram groove yet. Even though I‘ve already prepared 20 or so new images to post and that were supposed to make the transition from my Instagram break easier, I keep forgetting posting on my feed.  Although I‘ve come love sharing images and short videos on my Stories all the more. I just uploaded a few of yesterday’s happenings in Malmö. I had delicious coffee, ate too much food and met Malin of @goodeatings ✨ Happy days!7

Oh and this is probably my favorite photo yet. I shot it the other day in Dubai where it’s still summer and melons juicy and sweet. I simply love the light and colors. Endless summers can be so pretty, too. Though I’m also enjoying Malmö‘s autumn cold at the moment 💛  #lifeandthyme #foodandwine #appetitejournal #theartofslowliving #eattheworld #cntravelereats #kinfolklife #gatheringslikethese #teamcanon #mycommontablefood
Weekend Mood on a Wednesday evening! Because I li Weekend Mood on a Wednesday evening!

Because I literally can’t wait for this work week to be over because I’m heading to Europe tomorrow with stops in Germany, Copenhagen, Malmö and London.

I also can’t wait for autumn. I secretly wish that it will be moody and rainy and maybe even snowing, though the weather forecast is mostly sunny and snow at the beginning of October is probably wishful thinking too. 
Either way, I’m just quite excited for the food I get to eat, friends and family I get to see and magical moments I get to experience. 📸 Edited with my newest preset bundle „Mellow Cream“ (link in profile @blackwhitevivid )  #lifeandthyme  #theartofslowliving #seasonalfood #plantfueled #bevisuallyinspired #shareyourtable #breakfastinbed
Lately, I’ve been on a self-investment journey. Lately, I’ve been on a self-investment journey. I briefly talked about it in my last post. This summer I started learning how to be a good cook. There is no better investment than in yourself and even though sometimes others benefit from it too (like @fevonos who gets to eat pretty great dinners for a while now), often times it’s just for yourself. 
A while ago I made a list of things I wanted to invest my time in. Number one for me will always be photography and styling. It’s something I love and will consistently focus on. While it’s smart to surround yourself with people that are extremely good at it (like @linda_lomelino who styled this gorgeous scene), I also realized that thinking out of the box, improving a skill in one field to become better in another area, is an option too. So I decided to take up handwriting/calligraphy classes.

For the longest time ever I disliked my handwriting. And even though we live in a digital age and I hardly use pen and paper nowadays, my ugly scribbles have always annoyed me. Soon I’ll be taking an online handwriting class, so that my grocery and to-do lists, my journal entries and my Christmas cards finally look pretty. I don’t do this to become crafty or sell cute cards (though you never know where life takes you) but simply because I know I’ll be happy every time I write something down. And it’s a subject that boosts your creativity one way or another (I hope you’re as excited as I am for gorgeous flat lays with handwritten letters 😋). Anything you always wanted to learn or improve?

Happy Thursday and Happy Weekend to all folks here.

Guess how long I’ve been delaying this very firs Guess how long I’ve been delaying this very first post after my four-months Instagram break? 
3 weeks! It’s been sitting here for 3 long weeks and I somehow didn’t have the courage to post it. Do you know that feeling? 
Like when you didn’t go to the gym for the past year (true story) and dread the exhaustion and sore muscles and therefore decide to maybe wait a little longer. Just until you feel super fit and ready. Guess what, ready never comes and you won’t get fit until you start exercising again. 
Or when you didn’t sit behind a steering wheel for the past 10 years (also true story) but now live in Dubai and nothing is fun without driving. It’s scary at first and you have way too many self-doubts but then you wonder why you thought you would be bad at something millions of people do each day. 
Or the time when you didn’t see and haven’t really talked to a (back then good) friend for 8 years and are afraid the chemistry won’t be the same. And then it feels like it was only yesterday you saw each other the last time. 
Those were all moments that felt scary or at least uncomfortable at first. But they all had a somewhat happy ending (if you consider feeling stiff and aching a happy moment 😋). So I just hope that I’ll also survive this post (I heard a lot of things have changed again on Instagram). But I’m mostly excited, I’ve done some soul searching, mood searching and subject searching. The result is a bunch of new photos, new content and new inspiration. It’s all been sitting here for 3 long weeks too. For now I’m just happy I’ve finally shared my first post again and I’m finally back (true story 😉).
I’ve been dragging myself through life lately an I’ve been dragging myself through life lately and I’m dying to get out of that dark hole again. I’m not very good with handling those phases, though I know they are important and necessary to progress and evolve. I usually don’t share these kind of feelings on Instagram, all I do is stay away because I’ve learned that forcing it makes everything worse. So I don’t do photo shoots and share images I hate anyway but I put my phone away and have screen-free days or hours. I go on long evening walks (even when it’s 37C / 99 F outside), bake cakes and sit on the balcony doing nothing. Have you tried that lately. It’s so hard in the beginning but doing nothing other than maybe thinking has been one of the best exercises to clear my head. Since this week I’m seeing light again at the end of the tunnel. I picked up my camera again, started writing for my blog and came across some pretty amazing podcasts that gave me the right pep talk at the right time. If you like podcasts and want to feel inspired and motivated I can highly recommend listening to @onegirlband_ and @local_milk latest episodes. What are the books or podcasts or accounts or blogs that inspire and motivate you?

Spring Skillet Pizza with asparagus, sugar pea sna Spring Skillet Pizza with asparagus, sugar pea snaps, edamame, pesto and basil - the first attempt of many more to come. Have you ever made skillet pizza? It looks super easy but mine collapsed when I tried to put it into the hot cast iron pan. But the taste is still super delicious. No need for a pizza stone 💁🏻‍♀️😄

Slowly trying to get back into my routine after ou Slowly trying to get back into my routine after our 2-week vacation. It’s harder than I thought. During the first few days of my holiday I needed a lot of time to just relax and sleep. And then when my mind was well rested, it started working again. New ideas, new projects, new goals. But I didn’t act on them, I didn’t judge, I just let them come and go. That’s the hardest part because I always feel like I need to sit down the next minute and start working. I just knew that I needed a few more days off and that I should really take some time for myself doing something other than work. So being back home I have all these ideas and thoughts accumulated in my head and it’s such a big mess that it rather paralyses than motivates. Does that sound familiar to you? Maybe I should just take another day off, have some pear rosemary galette and write everything down before I start putting it into action. 😊 And just a little reminder, my favorite Lightroom Preset bundle is still 50% off until tomorrow (link in profile @blackwhitevivid). Just saying 🤷🏻‍♀️😊

I‘m back to the desert and its slightly warm spr I‘m back to the desert and its slightly warm spring weather (37C/ 99F). I took an unplanned break from posting on my Instagram feed though I hope you liked my Stories from Réunion and Mauritius. It’s quite a change in scenery, I really enjoyed the lush and jungle-like landscape, though I’m really looking forward to some sandy time in Dubai now before I head off to a longer Europe trip mid May. Also, I just wanted to let you know that my favorite Lightroom Preset Bundle is 50% off for the next three days (link in profile @blackwhitevivid ). Happy Editing & Happy Sunday 💛

Emirati Sweet Dumplings with Coffee Syrup. Another Emirati Sweet Dumplings with Coffee Syrup. Another photoshoot in the desert, another favorite set of photos. Not just because I‘ve grown fond of the sand dunes but also because I‘m joining @terminatetor‘s #virtualcoffeeparty2018 - where other food bloggers from all over the world share a coffee-inspired recipe. The recipe for these dumplings, also known as Luqaimat, is now on the blog (link in profile @blackwhitevivid). I‘ve tagged everyone who participated this year, so if you need an extra dose of coffee this Friday, check out their posts too 😄
