Everyone knows Turkish dough boats – if not, here is a delicious recipe idea for you and for those who already know it: A very tasty alternative to the conventional dough boats that you already know.
Most of the dough boat recipes on the internet are with spinach and feta cheese or with minced meat.

Unfortunately, due to the corona, we can’t really travel and I missed the taste soooo much. Now it was time to bake this delicious pide.
Now we come to the simple recipe. Enjoy the meal.

Instructions
Dough production
Heat the water, milk, sugar and yeast in a mixing bowl for 2 minutes/37°C/speed 2.
Add soft butter, flour and salt, use Interval/Knead function for 2 minutes.
Transfer the finished dough into a bowl and let rise covered for about 1 hour. Rinse the mixing bowl.
Filling preparation
Distribute the peeled and reduced potatoes in the lower Varoma® insert and fill the mixing bowl with the water. Cook the potatoes for 30 minutes/Varoma®/speed 1.
Let the potatoes cool down.
Remove the remaining water from the mixing bowl and chop the cheese in the mixing bowl, 10 seconds/speed 5 and transfer.
Dough ships
Preheat the oven to approx. 220°C top/bottom heat.
After the resting time, divide the dough into 6 balls of the same size and form dough pieces. Roll out the dough pieces, long and wide in the middle, into a flat cake, place on a baking sheet lined with baking paper (max. 3 per baking sheet) and top with the potatoes. Sprinkle the cheese on top. Leave one edge free. Fold the edge inwards and press the tips together well to create a dough boat.
In a small bowl, whisk the egg yolk with 1 tablespoon of water and brush the dough boats. Sprinkle with a little sesame and black cumin, depending on your taste.
Bake the dough boats in the oven for about 15-20 minutes until golden brown and serve.
