- Preparation: 95 min
- Cooking: 15 min
- Makes: 1 serving (279 g)
- Difficulty: Medium
- Diets: Vegetarian
- Contains: dairy, egg, gluten
Ingredients
- 100 g Plain flour
- 55 g Water, lukewarm
- 10 g Milk
- 1.5 g Yeast, active dry
- 1 g Sugar
- 5 g Olive oil
- 0.8 g Salt
- 40 g Kaşar cheese, grated
- 25 g Beyaz peynir (white cheese), crumbled
- 3 g Parsley, fresh
- 30 g Egg
- 8 g Butter, unsalted (to brush)
Method
- Dissolve the yeast and sugar in the lukewarm water and milk, then mix into the flour with the salt and oil. Knead for 8-10 minutes into a soft, smooth dough, cover and leave to rise for an hour.
- Heat the oven as hot as it goes, 250 °C, with a baking tray or stone inside.
- Mix the grated kaşar, crumbled white cheese, chopped parsley and most of the beaten egg, keeping a spoonful for brushing.
- Roll the dough into an oval about 30 x 12 cm and 3-4 mm thick. Spread the filling down the middle, leaving a 2 cm border, then fold the long edges over the edge of the filling and pinch the ends into points, so it looks like a boat. Brush the dough with the rest of the egg.
- Slide it on baking paper onto the hot tray and bake for 10-12 minutes, until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling and browned in places.
- Brush the hot crust with melted butter, cut it across into strips and serve at once, with ayran or a salad of tomato, cucumber and parsley.
