Knead the flour, yeast, warm water, olive oil, and half of the salt into a soft dough.
Keep the dough in a covered bowl for 30 minutes, until it rises.
Crumble the cheese, finely chop the onion, parsley, and red pepper, and mix them with the black pepper.
Divide the dough into 6 balls and roll each one into a thin oval.
Spread the cheese filling thinly over the dough, leaving a narrow border.
Bake the breads in a 220°C oven for 12 minutes, until the edges brown.
Rest for 3 minutes after baking, then slice and serve hot.
💡 Tip: If the cheese is very salty, do not add extra salt to the filling; Arapgir style lets the milky flavor of the cheese come forward.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Slice the cheese bread as soon as it comes out of the oven and serve it for sharing with optional tomatoes, greens, and ayran.
