Ingredients
Scale
Dough Ingredients
- 2 cups All-Purpose Flour
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 3/4 cup Water
Filling Ingredients
- 2 cups Fresh Spinach, chopped
- 1 cup Feta Cheese, crumbled
- 1 tablespoon Olive Oil (for cooking)
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually add water until a dough forms. Knead until smooth, then let it rest for about 30 minutes.
- Make the Filling: While the dough rests, wash and chop the fresh spinach. In a bowl, mix the spinach with crumbled feta and a pinch of salt. Set aside.
- Roll Out the Dough: Divide the rested dough into equal portions. On a floured surface, roll each portion into a thin circle, about 10 inches in diameter.
- Fill the Gozleme: Place a generous amount of the spinach and feta filling on one half of the rolled-out dough. Fold the other half over to create a pocket and press the edges to seal.
- Cook the Gozleme: Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a drizzle of olive oil. Cook each gozleme for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
Notes
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh spinach and high-quality feta will elevate the flavor of your gozleme.
- Don’t Overfill: Stick to a moderate amount of filling to prevent the gozleme from bursting during cooking.
- Rest Your Dough: Allowing the dough to rest makes it easier to roll out and results in a better texture.
- Keep It Warm: If making multiple gozleme, keep them warm in a low oven until ready to serve.
- Experiment with Seasoning: Adjust the seasoning in the filling to suit your taste preferences.
