I love pizza as a quick and easy meal when we are having friends for a relaxed evening at home or even to take on family picnics and other relaxed outings. This is a twist towards the middle east . . . . . It is DELICIOUS !!!

Cut dough into 10 pieces and roll into balls then place on to floured trays to prove – this only takes about 30 – 45 minutes.

Divide filling between all the pides and pinch ends together and fold around
Divide feta between the 10 Pides and crumble over the top
Bake in a very hot oven until brown (10-12 mins)
