Kuymak-style village pide is a Turkish flatbread filled with a rich mixture of cheese, village butter and often egg. It is traditionally baked in a stone oven, where the dough turns crisp around the warm, melting filling.
No, kuymak-style village pide is not the same dish as kuymak. Kuymak is a hot cheese-and-cornmeal preparation, while this pide puts a similar cheese-rich filling inside bread dough and bakes it.
Kuymak-style village pide is traditionally baked in a hot stone oven. The pide dough is shaped around its butter-and-cheese filling, then baked until the bread is cooked and the cheese has melted.
Kuymak-style village pide is made with a cheese that melts well. Regional versions may use local Turkish cheeses such as kolot or string cheese; if your cheese is salty, use less added salt in the filling.
No, kuymak-style village pide is not the meat-filled pide its name may be mistaken for. Its kuymak-style filling is based on cheese and butter, often with egg; kıymalı pide is the Turkish pide made with minced meat.
Kuymak-style village pide is distinguished by its cheese-and-butter kuymak-style filling, often enriched with egg. Other Turkish pide varieties can have different fillings, such as minced meat, cheese alone or vegetables.
Serve kuymak-style village pide with ayran, a fresh salad or tea. The rich, cheesy filling pairs especially well with a simple salad, while ayran is a familiar Turkish accompaniment to pide.
Yes, you can bake kuymak-style village pide in a home oven. Preheat the oven well and bake the pide on a hot baking tray or baking stone so the base cooks firmly and the filling melts.
To stop kuymak-style village pide filling from leaking, avoid overfilling the dough and pinch the edges firmly closed. A very oily filling can escape more easily, so drain excess liquid or fat before assembling the pide.
Store leftover kuymak-style village pide covered in the refrigerator once it has cooled. Reheat a portion in an oven or pan to bring back some crispness; the bread may turn softer if reheated in a microwave.

Kuymak-style village pide brings together soft pide dough and a rich, kuymak-inspired filling of cheese and butter, baked until the crust is browned; some versions also include egg. Village pide is part of Turkey’s regional oven-baked bread tradition, with fillings and shapes varying from one bakery or locality to another.
It is best served warm, when the cheese is soft and the edges have a little crispness. In Turkey, it can make a hearty lunch or supper with ayran, or be shared at the table; elsewhere, serve it with a crisp salad for balance. The bread contributes most of its energy from carbohydrates, while the cheese and butter make it filling. A 100 g portion has 9.2 g of protein, and a smaller piece with vegetables makes a lighter meal.
