Turkish Mini Chicken Pide Recipe (Mini Turkish Pizza)
Chicken Pide is a traditional flatbread from Turkey. It is a boat shaped bread filled with tangy chicken filling, cheese and baked in a clay oven to get the perfect texture. I have made it into individual round pide which is easy to make and has all the flavours of authentic Turkish pide.
