Sujuk and cheese pide is a delicious Turkish dish that is perfect for breakfast, lunch or dinner. It consists of a boat-shaped dough filled with a mixture of spicy sujuk, a type of dried sausage, and melted cheese.

To make the dish, a basic dough is prepared using flour, yeast, salt, sugar, and water. The dough is then rolled out and shaped into a boat-like structure. Sujuk, which is made from beef or lamb, is then cooked with onion, garlic, and a blend of spices, such as cumin and paprika. Once the sujuk mixture is ready, it is spread on the dough, followed by a layer of grated cheese. The pide is then baked in the oven until the dough is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Sujuk and cheese pide can be enjoyed on its own or with a side salad or dip, such as tzatziki or hummus. It’s a great dish for sharing with friends and family, or as a satisfying meal for one. The spicy sujuk and gooey cheese make for a flavorful combination that is sure to impress your taste buds.
