We are genuinely obsessed with these right now. Turkish pides are like the pizza of our dreams, all crispy golden dough shaped into those gorgeous little boats, packed with a chunky, deeply savoury mushroom filling. There's something about making your own dough that feels a bit special without being a faff, and the result is so much better than anything you'd knock together on a weeknight with shop-bought stuff. The mushrooms get beautifully meaty and rich, and when it all comes together in that boat shape, honestly it looks impressive enough to serve at a dinner party. Make these tonight and watch them disappear.
