This vegetarian pide with goat cheese, braised vegetables and and herbs is just delicious. The crusty dough is topped with flavorful vegetables cooked in tomato sauce, topped with goat cheese and finished with a drizzle of honey and some rocket.

Pide is a baked Turkish flat bread that is stuffed with a variety of toppings, for example cheese, spiced meat or vegetables. Traditionally, this savory dish of middle eastern origin is baked at a high temperature in a wood-fired oven.

For this recipe I used Schär Bread Mix B but you could also use another gluten-free flour blend.

In a non-stick pan, heat the olive oil and add the diced eggplant, bell bell pepper, onion and garlic. Sauté until the vegetables start to color. Then stir in the strained tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper. Add the chopped oregano and 1 pinch of sugar. Braise in the pan for another 10 minutes until the liquid from the tomatoes has evaporated.
