Gozleme recipe
Weekend markets wouldnt be the same without Turkish Gozleme stands.
But its a very effective marketing strategy!!
), to pull and stretch into the shape that you want, and patch up accidental tears.
If youre new to making your own flatbreads, this is a great one to start with!
The gozleme dough is very forgiving and easy to handle when rolling out.
I typically make 4 Gozlemes from each batch of dough, though it can easily stretch to 5.
Though chicken, pork and turkey could be used too.
Just a note:I stuff my Gozlemeway more generouslythan the Turkish Mamas at the Gozleme stands.
I figure if were going to the effort of making our own, we shouldnt skimp on fillings!!
Spinach and Feta Filling for Gozleme
The Spinach and Feta filling has nothing ground breaking in it.
Egg for binding, garlic for flavour and pepper.
(Ignore the salt in the photo, its not required!!)
The one little trick Ive adopted over the years is toscrunch the spinachto wilt it down slightly.
It makes itmuch easier to stuffthe flatbread when the spinach is compacted down.
Trying to enclose a huge pile of green fluffage with thin pastry is not fun.
Increase the volume, more texture, add colour and more flavour!
Wrapping & cooking
Dont be intimidated by this part!
Its really not difficult and as I said, were working with a friendly dough here.
Large gozleme = difficult to transfer to skillet and flip.
Once cooked, its crisp enough to scoop up with a spatula youll see in the recipe video!
(Besides, remember that olive oil is better for you!)
Though traditionally served with lemon wedges, hand on heart, I haveneverused them.
(And Ive had my fair share of Gozleme in my life time!).
They are great as they are, hot off the stove.
In my world, these are a summertime BBQ favourite.
And the extra bonus (because we all secretly love this part) everyone is alwayssoimpressed.
Its just not something that most people think about making at home.
Ive used the word crispalot in this post.
So Im going to leave you with this image.
