Uh-oh! We're unable to calculate nutrition for this recipe because some ingredients aren't recognized.

Step 1

- Mix water, yeast and sugar in a beaker and let the yeast bubble for a couple of minutes. - In a bowl, mix flour and salt, pour it on the counter, make a hole in the middle and pour liquid ingredients into the pit. - First, stir it with a fork from the edges to the middle, and when the mixture thickens enough, you can use your hands. - Knead for about 10 minutes until it becomes a smooth and elastic dough, or you can use a stand mixer as well. - Divide the dough in two equal buns, place in separate bowls, cover them with a damp cloth and leave until doubled -around an hour-. - Mix egg yolks and water for topping, then add melted butter. - Place crumpled and unfolded baking paper on your counter with water spray. Sprinkle some breadcrumbs or semolina on the baking paper, so you can enlarge the dough more easily. - Take the dough out of the bowl and place it on the paper. Wet your fingers with the egg yolk mixture and enlarge the dough to the sides gently. Get it as straight as possible. - Shape the edges with your pinkie fingers. Then press hard with your pinkie fingers in the middle again to give a diamond (in Turkey we called it Baklava) or square pattern. Spread plenty of buttered egg yolk mixture on it, sprinkle nigella and sesame seeds on top. - With a baking stone on the second shelf from the bottom, place it in the preheated oven at 250°C degrees, working on upper and lower heat. - Pide will be ready in 12-14 minutes.

Step 2

- To make the minced meat sauté minced meat on a frying pan. Add onions when the meat changes its colour. Cook on medium heat for about 20 minutes until onions are disappeared. You can add a splash of water to glaze the pan. Add salt, black pepper and nutmeg. - To make the sauce bring tomato puree, a tablespoon butter and water to a boil. Add salt, sugar and black pepper. - Brown sliced pide pieces with butter on a frying pan. - To assemble the easy İskender, place the pide on a plate. Top with tomato sauce and spare some from the sauce for top. - Put the minced meat and add more sauce on it. - Mix yoghurt and black pepper. Add a ladle of hot water if yoghurt is cold. Put the yoghurt on the side of the plate. - Finally, brown a tablespoon of butter in a small pan and pour over the İskender. - Garnish with parsley leaves if you like. - Heavenly easy İskender is ready to enjoy!
