Terme pidesi, hailing from the Terme district in Turkey, offers a unique take on traditional Turkish pide. It differs from Bafra and Çarşamba pidesi in that it is an open-faced pie, showcasing its fillings on the surface. The dough is made with flour, water, salt, yeast, and a touch of sugar.

But one of the defining features of Terme pidesi is its array of fillings. Options range from minced meat and cubed meat to an assortment of cheeses like kaşar peyniri (a type of Turkish cheese), çökelek (a dry curd cheese), and beyaz peynir (Turkish white cheese).

Other popular toppings include pastırma (a highly seasoned, air-dried cured beef) and sucuk (a spicy Turkish sausage). These fillings are often generously layered on the open-faced dough; the longer sides of the dough are folded over and sealed at both ends.

A unique aspect of Terme Pidesi is the option to add an egg on top of any of these fillings. The typical Terme pidesi, regardless of the filling, is 70-80 cm (28-32") long and 15 cm (6") wide.
