Mix the water, milk, and sugar in a bowl large enough to hold all of the dough.
Sprinkle the yeast over the mixture and let stand for 5-10 minutes. This allows the yeast to activate and become foamy.
After the mixture foams, mix in the yeast, then mix in the olive oil.
Add the salt, then start to mix the flour in. You will want to add in a little at a time, mixing until you see dough form.
Flour a flat surface (I used the kitchen counter), then knead the dough for 10 minutes. Knead the dough until it feels soft, and isn't sticky.
Put the dough into a bowl and cover with a damp cloth. Keep the bowl in a warm place, and let the dough rise for about 1.5 hours. You want to see it double in size from what you put into the bowl.
Once the dough has risen, put two fingers into the dough, and if the indentations stay, the dough is ready.
Punch the dough down in to the bowl, then divide the dough into 4 pieces. Try to make them as even as possible!
Roll out the dough into more of a rectangle shape. Once it is rolled out, roll each side towards the middle so they meet. Then pinch the ends together and twist. Once the ends are in place, shape the boat by bringing the sides outward into an oval. I also pinched the sides up once it was in a boat shape to make the sides a little taller.
Transfer the boats to a greased baking sheet. Preheat your oven to 475°.
Now it is time to make the filling!
