📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Often called "Turkish pizza," this boat-shaped flatbread comes with countless topping variations from ground meat to cheese to egg. Dedicated pide shops are common, but it's also made at home on weekends. Making the dough from scratch is the authentic way, though store-bought pizza dough works just as well.

🌆 Where it's eaten: A working-class Istanbul neighborhood: the fragrant smell drifting from a pide shop's oven draws in passersby.
