Steps

1

Start by preparing the dough.
2

In a large bowl, place the yeast and pour in 50 ml of the water. Mix with your fingers to dissolve.
3

Next, add the sugar, the remaining water, the flour, and finally the salt. Begin kneading and continue for 3-4 minutes.
4

Now add the olive oil and milk. Knead again for another 3-4 minutes until the liquids are absorbed. At this stage, check if you need to add more flour. You want a soft dough that doesn't stick too much to your hands and the sides of the bowl.
5

Once achieved, cover the bowl with a towel and let it rise for an hour in a warm place. If the temperature is low, place it in a preheated oven at 120°F (50°C) for 20 minutes.
6

While the dough is rising, prepare the sauce.
7

In a small pot, add the oil and garlic. On medium heat, let it infuse for half a minute. Remove the garlic from the pot.
8

Add the tomato, oregano, and basil. Stir and simmer for 10 minutes. Turn off the heat and let it cool.
9

When the dough has risen, place it on a lightly floured surface and, using a sharp knife, cut it into the desired pieces, trying not to deflate it too much.
10

Take each piece and shape it into a boat with your hands. Repeat the process with all the pieces.
11

Place the peinirli on a well-buttered baking sheet, prick them inside with a fork, and add the turkey.
12

Bake in a preheated oven at 390°F (200°C) until they are lightly colored.
13

Remove from the oven, pour over the sauce, and bake for another ten minutes.
14

Finally, add the cheese, sprinkle with a little basil, and brush the edges with butter.
15

Bake until the cheese melts.
16

Remove from the oven and let them sit for 5 minutes.

Enjoy!!!
