Ingredients

250g ciabatta bread mix
1 tbsp olive oil
1 onion , diced
2 garlic cloves , crushed
½ small red pepper , diced
½ small green pepper , diced
½ tsp ground cumin
½ tsp ground cinnamon
handful of parsley , chopped
1 block of halloumi , diced
plain flour , for dusting
25g butter , melted

Method

Make the ciabatta dough following pack instructions and set aside to rise while you make the filling.
Heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and fry the onion, garlic and peppers for 10 mins or until soft. Add the spices and some seasoning, and cook for a few minutes, then stir in the parsley and take off the heat. Stir in the halloumi.
Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Divide the dough into quarters then roll out on a lightly floured surface into long oval shapes (about 22cm x 9cm). Arrange on two baking trays lined with baking parchment. Scatter with the pepper and cheese mix leaving 1cm borders. Pinch at each end to make a slipper shape.
Bake for 20-25 mins or until puffed and golden. Brush the pides all over with melted butter and serve.
