Pide is a staple in Turkey, a pizza-like bread covered with a thick layer of spiced minced meat and vegetables.  

Turkish pides are crispy on the sides but soft underneath; the dough and filling are raw when the pide goes into the oven.  67 however preferred a crispy base, and to help busy family chefs, it pre-cooked a low-fat filling.  

The bread boat - which takes only 15 mins to prepare - is flash-baked on the day to prevent a soggy bottom.
