2. Cooking Directions
- Place a pizza stone or inverted baking sheet on the lowest oven rack; preheat oven to 500 degrees F or highest setting. Coat a large baking sheet with cooking spray and dust with cornmeal.
- Prepare Whole-Wheat Pizza Dough, if using.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into a 15-by-10-inch oval. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Turn edges under to make a slight rim. Brush the rim with 1 teaspoon oil.
- Sprinkle cheese over the crust, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Top with tomatoes, onion, jalapeno and pastrami, if using. Season with pepper. Drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil.
- Place the baking sheet on the heated pizza stone (or baking sheet) and bake the pizza until the bottom is crisp and golden, 10 to 14 minutes. Sprinkle with parsley and serve immediately.
Yield: 6 servings
3. Still Hungry?
Italians usually get the credit for inventing pizza, but some people believe that Turkish pride (flatbreads with toppings) may have come first. This recipe is an adaptation of a pizza discovered in a street-side cafe in the Mediterranean coastal city of Antalya.

Pide
Unal S - September 18, 2007 03:41:40 PM PSTHi,
It is called 'pide' in Turkish (not 'pride' as written in article), and yeap it is one of the many Turkish dishes that is not very much known outside Turkey (thanks to the overwhelming focus on kebaps). You can find tens of kinds of 'pides' in Turkey, each different in different parts of Turkey (my favourite: go to Northern Turkey, Karadeniz, to eat the tastiest pides).
It is interesting that pizza, pita and pide all sound similar and they all refer to, more or less, the flat-bread. Who made it first? Italians? Greeks? Turks? Well, we don't really know, that is the job of reseachers. But what we know is they all do it different ways, and that is good! Result: Diverse tastes, happy eaters.

choco-holic - September 10, 2007 04:40:47 PM PSTactually...this dish did not originate in Turkey, it is an Armenian dish which originated in Armenia, which is right ext to Turkey. The common misconception is that since these cultures have lived next to each other since the 15th century, many aspects of their culture, such as food have blended together. Nonetheless, Armenian style pizza is very delicious, originally it is to be prepared with lamb, however, diaspora Armenians (at least the ones here in America) prepare this dish with beef.
