Ingredients:

For the dough:

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup warm water
• 1 packet (7g) instant yeast
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

For the topping (example: cheese and parsley)(you can serve anything you want):

• 1 cup shredded mozzarella or Turkish kasar cheese
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
• Optional: 1 egg (for brushing)

Instructions:

1. In a bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit 5-10 minutes until foamy.
2. Add flour, salt, and olive oil. Knead until a smooth dough forms (about 8-10 minutes).
3. Cover and let the dough rise for 1 hour until doubled in size.
4. Preheat oven to 220°C (430°F).
5. Divide dough into equal balls. Roll each ball into an oval shape about 1/2 cm thick.
6. Spread cheese and parsley evenly on the dough, leaving a small border around edges.
7. Fold edges slightly inward to form a boat shape.
8. Brush edges with beaten egg for a shiny crust (optional).
9. Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden and cheese is melted.
10. Serve hot.
