Melty Cheese & Savory Sausage in Golden Peinirli Boats
Soft dough shaped into boats, topped with rich melting cheese, crumbled feta, briny olives and savory sausage slices, baked to golden perfection with buttery edges — every bite blends creamy, salty, and smoky flavors.
Ingredients for the Dough
- 1 kg all-purpose flour
- 1 packet dry yeast
- 1 heaping tbsp salt
- 450–500 g lukewarm water
- 60 g milk
- 3 tbsp olive oil
Instructions for the Dough
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, yeast, salt, and olive oil. Mix well.
- Add the milk and gradually pour in the water while kneading until you have a soft, pliable dough that doesn’t stick to your hands.
- Cover the bowl with a kitchen towel and let the dough rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
Ingredients for the Filling
- 80 g melting cheese (e.g., mozzarella or gouda) per peinirli
- 80 g crumbled feta cheese per peinirli
- 8 pitted olives per peinirli
- 7–8 sausage slices per peinirli
- 2 tbsp melted butter
Instructions for the Filling
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Divide the dough into 160 g balls and roll each ball into an elongated shape. Place them on the baking tray.
- Spread crumbled feta cheese along the base of each dough piece. Add the olives, melting cheese, and sausage slices on top.
- Fold and pinch the edges of the dough to create boat-like shapes.
- Bake for approximately 25 minutes, brushing the dough with melted butter 1–2 times during baking.
Flavor Layers that Shine
The crumbling feta adds tangy brightness, melting cheese gives gooey pull, olives bring a touch of brine, and sausage rounds out with savory depth — balanced, rich, and satisfying.
Crust & Finish with Comfort
Edges fold into a boat to cradle the toppings; brushing with melted butter during baking yields golden, slightly crisp borders that contrast the tender center.
Deliciously golden and filled with tangy feta, gooey cheese, savory sausage, and briny olives, these peinirli are a delightful combination of flavors. Perfect as a snack or main course, they bring a slice of Mediterranean comfort to your table. Serve warm and enjoy every bite!
