Mix the flour, salt, cornmeal, and yeast, then knead with warm water into a soft dough; cover and let rise for 30 minutes.
Move the dough to the counter and roll it into a round; place the crumbled kolot cheese, diced butter, and black pepper in the center.
Bring the dough edges together in the center and seal; transfer to the tray and brush the top with beaten egg.
Bake in an oven heated to 220°C for 14 minutes, until the top is golden.
Rest the baked yagli for 5 minutes, slice, and serve hot.
💡 Tip: Let the dough rise for 30 minutes after kneading; this is the key to the airy texture of the yagli. Distribute the kolot cheese in large pieces so it forms melted pools.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Slice the hot yagli onto a plate and serve with homemade yogurt or Black Sea-style cacik.
