Creating the pide
    Cup of Yum
  1. Lightly oil a 15"x12" baking sheet.Remove the dough from the packet and toss in a little flour to stop it sticking. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough into a large wide oval shape. Carefully transfer to the baking sheet.
For the Cheese & Egg topping
  1. Heat a pan with 2 tbsp water until boiling. Add the spinach and pop on a lid. Leave for 30 seconds until it's wilted. Remove from the heat and then place the spinach onto a clean tea towel. Cool slightly, then wrap the spinach and squeeze to remove as much moisture as you can. Tip the spinach onto a board and chop finely, then cool completely.
  2. Mix together the spinach with the cheeses and then place onto the pizza oval in a long line down the centre of the bread.Fold each side of the oval inwards a little to create long canoe boat shape. Press together the top and bottom parts of the bread. Most of the cheese should still be exposed.
  3. Lightly brush the bread surface with the egg and then sprinkle liberally with the sesame and nigella seeds. Sprinkle over a little salt & pepper and then place in the oven to cook for 15 minutes.
  4. Slide out the oven shelf and CAREFULLY break an egg into the centre of the pide, over the cheese. The sides should prevent it from running out. Return to the oven and cook for a further 5-7 minutes, until the egg is just set.
For the Suçuk Topping
  1. Mix together the cheeses and then place onto the pizza oval in a long line down the centre of the bread. Arrange the sausage slices over the cheese, then sprinkle over the red onion slices.Fold each side of the oval inwards a little to create long canoe boat shape. Press together the top and bottom parts of the bread. Most of the cheese should still be exposed.
  2. Lightly brush the bread surface with the egg and then sprinkle liberally with the sesame and nigella seeds. Sprinkle over a little salt & pepper and then place in the oven to cook for 15 minutes.
