It is a Turkish pide (pita). I've already posted the recipe which is under the Bread&Pide section:)

What is a cubanelle pepper, please? I assume it's not a green pepper. What could I substitute for it? Thank you for your wonderful recipes!

Hi Becky,
Cubanelle peppers are similar to banana peppers so you can use banana peppers:)
