I get a pizza and cut two parallel lines through it, making it into 3 strips of equal width. Then I throw the middle one in the bin and push the two outside ones together. Hey presto - pide!

We use tortillas courtesy of aldi as a good alternative. Fill wth chopped and fried spring onions and they are delicious.
I am assuming pied is the pancake rather than the pizza.

Well if it is I'll have to delete my suggestion

Is pide a generic term.
I have always assumed pide was the thin one and pizza was the thick one, or I am I being a pizza

Believe it or not, one's made from a strong flour and the other from a soft flour. It's all about the amount of gluten in the flour. Pizza flour has more gluten which allows it to hold more air and therefore makes the dough more "bready". Pide flour is low in gluten, holds less air, and makes the dough very flat.

Thanks for that x

Usually the Turkish flour is preservative an gluten free,everything else is the same
