In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free flour, xanthan gum, instant yeast, and salt. Stir to distribute the ingredients evenly.
Create a well in the center of the flour mixture. Add the olive oil and warm water bit by bit, stirring as you pour. Mix until a soft dough forms.
Knead the dough lightly on a clean surface for about 5 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, lightly dust with more gluten-free flour.
Return the dough to the bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 20 minutes.
While the dough is resting, prepare the filling. Finely chop the spinach and place it in a large bowl.
Crumble the feta cheese into the bowl with the spinach. Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic, then add them to the bowl.
Season the filling with black pepper and cayenne pepper. Mix well to combine all the ingredients.
Once the dough has rested, divide it into four equal portions.
Roll out each portion on a lightly floured surface into a thin oval or rectangle to about 2mm thickness.
Place an equal amount of filling on one half of the rolled-out dough, leaving space around the edges.
Fold the dough over the filling to create a flat pocket, then press the edges to seal.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large non-stick pan over medium heat.
Place the gozleme in the pan and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and heated through.
Repeat with remaining gozleme, adding more oil to the pan if needed.
Cut each gozleme into slices and serve hot.
