Preparation of Amasya Yanuç: In a sufficiently large bowl, flour, salt, yeast, and water are combined, and the dough is kneaded thoroughly for about 15 minutes until it becomes shiny, soft, smooth, slick, non-sticky, and elastic. After kneading, the dough is allowed to rest for at least 1 hour for fermentation. From the rested dough, 6 equal pieces are cut to form dough balls. For smaller-sized Amasya Yanuç, the dough can be divided into 12 equal pieces to make smaller dough balls. The rolled dough balls are then left to rest for an additional 20 minutes for further fermentation. For the cheese-filled, cheese-parsley, and cheese-green onion fillings, the necessary components are mixed in order to obtain the filling.For the minced meat filling, the required ingredients are mixed and sautéed for approximately 15 minutes to obtain the minced meat filling.For the potato filling, the required ingredients are mixed and sautéed for approximately 10 minutes to obtain the potato filling. For the spinach filling, the necessary ingredients are mixed and sautéed for approximately 15 minutes to obtain the spinach filling.Next, the rested dough is rolled out thinly in a circular shape with a diameter of 25-50 cm, depending on the size of the dough balls. The filling is placed on half of the rolled-out dough, and the other half is folded over to cover the filling, creating a semi-circle shape.
