Instructions
- Activate yeast: In a bowl, combine lukewarm water, sugar, and dry yeast. Let it sit until frothy, about 5-10 minutes.
- Prepare dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine bread flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and olive oil. Knead until a smooth dough forms.
- First rise: Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
- Shape the dough: Dust a surface with semolina flour. Punch down the dough and shape it into an oval or round flatbread typical of pide.
- Prepare topping: Mix plain yogurt, egg yolk, and olive oil. Brush this mixture over the shaped dough.
- Add seeds: Sprinkle nigella seeds and sesame seeds on top.
- Bake: Bake in the middle of a preheated oven at 200°C (390°F) for 10 minutes until golden and cooked through.
