Instruction tip
Shopping tip:
“00” flour has higher protein than regular flour, which makes it ideal for creating a lighter texture for bread and pasta. Regular plain flour can also be used.

Method

Step 1 of 4

Preheat oven to 200°C/180°C fan-forced. Grease and line a large baking tray. Place 1 cup warm water in a large bowl. Add yeast to water and whisk to combine. Add sugar and 2 tbs oil. Add flour, then season and mix to form a soft dough. Transfer to a lightly greased bowl. Cover and place in a warm area for 45 minutes or until dough has doubled in size.

Step 2 of 4

Meanwhile, place eggplant on prepared tray. Drizzle with 1/4 cup remaining oil, then sprinkle with cumin and toss to combine. Bake, stirring occasionally, for 45 minutes or until eggplant is tender. Cool. Process eggplant, chickpeas, tahini and 1 garlic clove until almost smooth. Season.

Step 3 of 4

Re-line baking tray with baking paper. Divide dough into 4 portions. Roll each portion out on a lightly floured surface to a 1cm-thick, 18cm-long oval. Place on prepared tray. Using the image as a guide, pinch and fold edges to create a border. Brush dough with remaining oil. Sprinkle with mozzarella. Bake for 20 minutes or until pide is golden-brown and base is crispy.

Step 4 of 4

Whisk yoghurt and remaining garlic together in a bowl. Finely chop pistachios. Place pide on plates. Top with eggplant mixture, then tomato and onion. Sprinkle with mint and pistachios. Serve with yoghurt and lemon.
