Instructions

1. 1 In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, sugar, and yeast.
2. 2 Gradually add the warm water and olive oil, mixing until a soft dough forms.
3. 3 Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
4. 4 Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
5. 5 Preheat the oven to 220°C (430°F).
6. 6 In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain excess fat.
7. 7 Add the chopped onion and cook until softened.
8. 8 Stir in the chopped tomato, tomato paste, red pepper flakes, cumin, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 5 minutes.
9. 9 Punch down the risen dough and divide it into two equal portions.
10. 10 Roll each portion into an oval shape about 1/4 inch thick.
11. 11 Spread the meat mixture evenly over each oval, leaving a small border around the edges.
12. 12 Fold the edges over slightly to create a border and pinch the ends to form a boat shape.
13. 13 Brush the edges with egg yolk.
14. 14 Place the pide on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
15. 15 Serve warm.
