Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 250 milliliters Cold water
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 300 grams Fresh spinach
- 200 grams Feta cheese
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Butter or oil for cooking
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt.
Gradually add the cold water and olive oil to the flour, mixing with your hands until a soft dough forms.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for at least 15 minutes.
While the dough is resting, prepare the filling: wash and drain the spinach, and then chop it finely.
In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped spinach, crumbled feta cheese, finely chopped onion, parsley, and black pepper, mixing well to combine.
Divide the rested dough into 4 equal portions.
On a floured surface, roll each portion of dough into a thin circle about 12 inches (30 cm) in diameter.
Place a quarter of the spinach and feta filling on one half of the dough circle, leaving a border around the edge.
Fold the other half of the dough over the filling to form a semi-circle. Press the edges to seal.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add butter or oil.
Cook each gozleme for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown and crisp.
Remove from the skillet and repeat with the remaining gozleme. Serve warm.
