Does anyone know how to make cheese bread from Turkey?!
It was served at a restaurant outside the AF base in Incirlik!. I believe it's called pide, and it's a long flat bread covered in cheese and served with honey and strawberry jam!. Does anyone know how to make the flat bread and what kinds of cheeses were used on top!? Thanks!Www@FoodAQ@Com
