Gözleme

Savor the warm, flaky goodness of Gözleme, a traditional Turkish flatbread stuffed with vibrant spinach and creamy feta. Ideal for a cozy weeknight dinner or a delightful brunch with friends.

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup water
• 200 grams spinach
• 200 grams feta cheese
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon black pepper

Method

1. 1

   In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Gradually add water and mix until a soft dough forms.

2. 2

   Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-10 minutes until it is smooth. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 15 minutes.

3. 3

   While the dough is resting, wash and chop the spinach. In a bowl, mix the chopped spinach with crumbled feta cheese and black pepper.

4. 4

   Divide the dough into equal-sized balls. Roll each ball out into thin circles on a floured surface.

5. 5

   Place a generous amount of the spinach and feta filling onto one half of each circle. Fold over to create a half-moon shape and press the edges to seal.

6. 6

   Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook each gözleme for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown and crispy.

7. 7

   Remove from the skillet and allow to cool slightly before serving. Cut into wedges and enjoy warm.
