Directions

• In a big bowl put warm milk,sugar and yeast.Keep undisturbed for 10 minutes. It will start to bubble. Add egg,salt and oil.Mix everything well and add flour. Knead to a nice smooth,elastic dough.
• Oil a bowl and coat the dough ball well. Cover with a wet towel.Let the dough rest for up-to 1 hour until it double in sizes.
• Mean while heat a pan. Add butter/oil. Add minced garlic. Once it is aromatic,add chopped onion. Fry till onion is golden brown.
• Add minced lamb. Saute in high heat for 5-6 minutes. The lamb will start changing colour. Reduce flame add all dry spices. Let it cook till lamb is done.
• Add tomatoes,and chopped red bell pepper. Let it cook for 2-3 more minutes. Stir in between.Switch off the gas.
• Add chopped mint,lemon juice and give everything a good mix.Keep aside and let it cool.
• Pre-heat oven to 200 degree Celsius.
• Punch down the dough and release all trapped gas. Take out dough on a lightly floured surface. Divide into two pieces.
• Take one part, roll dough to a oval shape. Then transfer the oval shaped dough to a lined baking sheet. Using hand stretch the dough a little more. It should be oblong oval shape. Dust top with some cornflour.
• Spread half of the cooled mixture on the shaped dough. Spread half of grated cheese on top. I have sprinkled some fresh cottage cheese in one and some sliced mushroom on another pide.
• Fold the side,bring together the end and pinch together. Shape the dough like boat. Refer this step by step pictures on how to shape.
• Lightly beat one egg. Using a pastry dough brush the edges of shaped dough. Pour couple of spoon of egg above the filling. Sprinkle sesame seed on the edges.
• Bake pide for 25- 30 minutes or until it looks golden brown.
• Once done let it rest for 5 minutes,then sprinkle some zatar on top. Slice and serve warm.
