Baking time!
Preheat your oven to 210°C and gently transfer the dough from the bowl to the baking tray lined with a parchment paper. Flatten the dough with your hand to a big pita shape and let it rest for another 40-45 minutes. For a crispier crust, brush the top of the pide bread with some egg wash before baking.
Using your fingertips, make indentations in the center to form the classic pide shape. Bake the pide bread for 15-20 minutes or until it is golden brown. Remove the pide bread from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack before serving.

Notes
Make sure your yeast is fresh and active. If your yeast is old or expired, your bread won't rise properly.
The dough should be slightly sticky but not too wet. If the dough is too dry, add a little bit more milk. If it's too wet, add a little bit more flour.
When shaping the dough, be careful not to press too hard or tear the dough. Use gentle pressure to make the indentations in the center of the oval.
Traditional pide bread is baked in a stone oven, but you can still achieve great results using a regular oven. Just make sure to preheat your oven to the recommended temperature and use a baking sheet that can withstand high heat.
Pide bread is best served warm and fresh, but you can store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
