Ingredients:

1 batch pizza dough
300g Chevre cheese, crumbled
300g farmers cheese (or drained Ricotta cheese) softened
6 tbsp butter
salt, to taste
1 tsp fresh coriander (cilantro), finely chopped

Method:

Divide the dough into 4 pieces. Roll one piece out into a boat shape about 20cm long and 8cm wide in the middle.

Combine all the remaining ingredients in a bowl and whisk to combine. Take 1/4 of this mixture and place in the centre of the boat-shaped dough (but leave a 3cm border all the way around). Bring the border up around the filling to form an edge all the way around then pinch the two ends to finish the boat form. Use a fish slice to transfer to a greased baking tray then repeat the procedure with the remaining dough and cheese filling.

When done, transfer the baking tray to an oven pre-heated to 220°C and bake for about 12 to 15 minutes, or until the crusts are golden brown and the cheese filling is bubbling. Serve hot.
