After more research, I have chosen to call this dish Oval Pizza Boats because this style of flatbread with topping or filling appears in more than one country; therefore, we will refer to it as pizza boats.

The Turkish call these Pide, while the Greeks call them Peinirli. To be honest, it’s “almost” the same dish: flatbread shaped into a boat or canoe with your choice of toppings.

So, in order to avoid conflict between both countries, let’s call it what it is: pizza, one of the world’s favorite comfort foods.

I’ve always been fascinated by food, cultures, and traditions. Even though I am not Turkish, Greek, or Italian, people send me requests about this recipe after posting it on my Instagram Story last December for my sons’ birthday.

Well, I enjoy researching and diving into food history; reading about it, watching many videos by natives, and educating myself on how to create something for my blog without offending anyone.

I like to be respectful because I know how sensitive people can be about their traditional foods. That is how I have always been, no matter what I make or post on this little corner of mine.

These Oval Pizza Boats are extremely simple to make, and I will show you exactly how to do so every time. Additionally, just like pizzas, I believe these are just a bit easier if you have a crowd; if you have vegetarian, you can make these with veggies, and if you have meat lovers, just add some sort of meaty protein, and you have mini individual pizzas in no time.

Our Favorite Finger Foods

What are your absolute favorite toppings? I love it all but my favorite is ham and mushrooms, and it always has been.

Now, with this one, I also love adding creamy spinach and a sprinkle of feta instead of traditional pizza toppings and serving it with maybe grilled chicken. I do not even have to make it meaty.

It is so delicious that you won’t regret making it for your family. Seriously the possibilities are endless!

These Oval Pizza Boats are super simple and really delicious.

Prep Time 10 minutes

Cook Time 20 minutes

Additional Waiting Time 1 hour

Total Time 1 hour 30 minutes

Ingredients

• 5 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tsp salt
• 1 cup lukewarm water
• 1 cup lukewarm whole milk
• 1 tbsp. active dry yeast (use dry yeast according to packet details)
• 1/2 tbsp. sugar

Topping on this one:

• Onion
• Mixed peppers
• Gyro Precooked Meat
• Mozzarella Cheese, shredded

Instructions

Dough:

1. Add lukewarm water, yeast, and sugar in a small bowl. Allow yeast to bloom.
2. Add AP flour and salt to a stand mixer with a kneading attachment if you do not have one, use a large mixing bowl.
3. Once yeat bloomed, pour it over the flour, then start mixing while pouring 1 cup of warm milk. Let the mixer knead it for approximately 5 minutes or until the dough is smooth in texture but still soft and just a bit sticky. Again you can do this with your hands.
4. Cover and let it rise for one hour. dough will almost double in size.
   

Topping:

1. I used gyro meat; pre-cooked beef, and lamb.
2. Cook peppers and onion, for a few minutes until softer, then add meat. Season with salt and pepper. My gyro meat was cooked so I just defrosted it and mixed them with my peppers.

NOTE: You can add any filling or topping of your choice.

Preheat Oven:

1. Preheat the oven to 450F. Cut the risen dough into 10 pieces and shape them round. Cover the ones you don’t use with a damp clean kitchen towel so they do not dry out.
2. Roll out one piece on a lightly floured surface into an oval shape that can fit onto your baking sheet. Place them into the baking dish, lined with fitting parchment paper. Add filling or topping of your choice on top leaving 2 inches of space at the edges.
3. Fold the sides of the boats inside and press them well. Pinch the ends and seal, making it like a canoe. Hold it from the corners, stretch it a bit more as far as it can fit into your baking sheet. NOTE: I like adding filling in the baking sheet because it hard to transfer from countertop to baking sheet.
4. Brush the sides with mixed egg and bake for about 18 to 20 minutes or until it is golden, and filling bubbly.
   

Notes

You can use any filling or topping.

For example, popular in my house are:

• Creamed spinach and feta cheese boats
• Minced meat and cheese
• Chicken Fajita; cooked chicken and peppers

The first time I tried Easy S’mores, Sweet Pizza, I knew that I would love it. It is sweet, delicious, chocolaty, and most definitely a crowd-pleaser.

So, it all started when my son’s girlfriend brought home a similar sweet pizza from our local pizzeria.

Then, I said, I could most definitely make a much better s’ mores pizza and as you see I did.

No, there is no healthy written in any bite that you take, but there is always pure bliss and satisfaction. Trust me on that one.

While many recipes use graham crackers for the crust I went a step further and made my crust from sugar cookies.

Yes, you can use store-bought sugar cookies that you find in your refrigerated section. However, you could make your own as well.

I included a recipe of my homemade sugar cookies in the recipe card just in case.

Anyhow, this one was such a treat. Well, a treat that I am not making often, but is so good every once in a while. If you never tried chocolate graham crackers then you are missing a lot.

They are simply fantastic especially in this Easy S’mores Sweet Pizza. We absolutely loved it!

My kids, as well as my husband, loved it so much that I had to make it the next day again.

Not to brag or anything, I am not much of a cake baker, but some desserts just click with me.

Prep Time 5 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 package Pillsbury refrigerated sugar cookie dough

• 1 cup graham crackers, broken in pieces ( I used chocolate)
• 1-2 cups marshmallows (miniature, regular size, or homemade)

Instructions

1. Spread the softened cookie dough into a lightly greased pizza pan or use a silicone mat, flattening it to the edges. Note that the dough will rise a bit while baking like any cookie dough. Baking sheet 12.5 x 9.5 x 1 inch but you could go smaller, although the cookie crust will be thicker. Whatever you prefer.
2. Press handful of chocolate chips into the dough, about 1/2 cup, use more if you wish.
3. Bake at 350 degrees for 7 minutes until it just begins to brown.
4. Remove the cookie from the oven and sprinkle the top with the chocolate chips, graham crackers and marshmallows. Recipe for homemade marshmallows
5. Return the cookie to the oven for an additional 8 minutes until crust is brown and chips and marshmallows are almost melted.
6. Allow cooling slightly before serving. Garnish with more chocolate chips and marshmallows, if desired.

Notes

Homemade Sugar Cookies (Makes 2 smaller pizzas)

• 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1/2 cup sugar (Usually you would use 1 cup of sugar, but we are using it for as a crust so I used a bit less)
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1 tablespoon milk

DIRECTIONS

1. Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

1. Place butter and sugar in a large bowl of an electric stand mixer and beat until light in colour.
2. Add egg and milk and beat to combine. Put mixer on low speed, gradually add flour, and beat until mixture pulls away from the side of the bowl.
3. Divide the dough in half, wrap in waxed paper, and refrigerate for 2 hours.
4. Remove 1 wrapped pack of dough from refrigerator at a time.
5. Use two parchment papers, plastic wrap or wax paper to roll out dough much easier. This way you do not have to use additional flour or powder sugar to roll out and also it does not stick.
