Has anyone ever heard of a "doughboy"? No, not THAT doughboy :-)
A few years back I ate something called a "doughboy" in Saratoga Springs, NY. It was a little bread pocket filled with cream cheese, chicken, and scallions (I think). I have searched for a recipe online but I found nothing. Has anyone heard of this? Any recipe suggestions? Thanks a bunch!

In RI, doughboys are squares of pizza dough that get deep fried and covered in sugar....

I've made what I call a doughboy for 30 years . . .it is basically bread dough stuffed with seasoned ground beef, cabbage or kraut, onions and cheese and baked. I have heard it called kraut burger and runza among other things. But I've always known this portable sandwich as a doughboy. Yummy comfort food.

for me, doughboys are fluffy dumpling-ish balls dropped into and cooked with stew or split pea soup. yum.

Hey Wendy, that sounds exactly what my husband makes and it's great. He calls it bierox.
Sorry, I can't chime in on the "doughboy" part -- I only know of The Doughboy (hee hee) and a rubber representation we once had that one of my ferrets had torn a hole through its foot because he loved to grab it by it's foot with his teeth and race around the house with it. I think he was abnormally cruel to the toy, not because he hated their products, because we'd always throw it in the tub when it was bath time, which he hated with all his being. You could see the steam rising from his ears as he would stand there in the tub fiercely shooting laser beams at us with his glare.

Doughboy is an outdated slang term for an American infantryman, best known from its use in World War I, although it potentially dates back to the Mexican-American War of 1846-48.

In the Maritimes provinces in Canada, a 'doughboy' is a dumpling dropped on top of bubbling stew. The lid is put in place and the whole deal simmers till the dumplings are set. There is always the suspense as to whether the stew will stick to the bottom of the pan as the doughboys cook.

There is some discussion about what's actually in there, but there is no full recipe available. Do some tinkering and let us know how it works out. Dough boys rock!

Doughboys are the best! I just ate two of them this past weekend..I do believe they contain the ingredients you have mentioned, but no one can figure out the whole recipe. Very top secret!! Good luck and post something if you figure it out!

oh my god.. delicious! I got married in Saratoga last may, and after the reception we made my little cousins run over to Esperanto's to get doughboys for everyone at the afterparty- so damn good.
no idea exactly what's in there and not really sure I want to know! it seems like cream cheese, scallions, some chicken, all like you mentioned.... possibly some magic.. put a little hot sauce on there and savor the flavor. i can't figure out any of the other ingredients!
After a night out drinking in Saratoga, nothing hits the spot better than a doughboy.

It's been over 10 years since I've had a doughboy, but I used to have the recipe nailed. The filling is chicken breast, cream cheese, cheddar, colby, and scallions. I can't remember exactly what I used to season the chicken, but a little onion powder, garlic powder, oregano, and s&p would probably get you in the ballpark. I might have to stop in Esperanto tomorrow.
