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

  1. In a bowl, combine the flour, yeast, salt, and olive oil. Mix well.
  2. Add the milk and gradually pour in the water while kneading until you achieve a soft, pliable dough that doesn’t stick to your hands.
  3. Cover the bowl with a towel and let the dough rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or longer if needed, until it doubles in size.

Ingredients for the Filling

  • 1 medium potato per peinirli
  • Salt
  • Olive oil for frying
  • 40 g melting cheese per peinirli
  • 2 tbsp melted butter

Instructions for the Potatoes

  1. Peel the potatoes, wash them, and cut them into small cubes.
  2. Fry the potato cubes in hot olive oil until golden. Place them on paper towels to drain excess oil and season with salt.

Assembling and Baking the Peinirli

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  2. Divide the dough into 160 g portions and roll each into an elongated shape. Place them on the prepared tray.
  3. On the base of each dough piece, spread a layer of fried potatoes and top with the melting cheese.
  4. Fold the edges of the dough and pinch them together to create boat-like shapes.
  5. Bake for about 25 minutes, depending on your oven.
  6. Just before removing the peinirli from the oven, brush the edges with melted butter for a golden, flavorful finish.

This peinirli is a delightful blend of golden fried potatoes, gooey cheese, and soft, freshly baked dough. Perfect as a hearty snack or a comforting meal, it brings a little indulgence to your day. Enjoy the irresistible combination of textures and flavors!
