Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Plain Greek yogurt
- 0.5 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 300 grams Fresh spinach leaves, chopped
- 200 grams Feta cheese, crumbled
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili flakes (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Butter or olive oil (for cooking)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually add the yogurt and water while mixing until the dough comes together.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic. Cover with a damp towel and let it rest for 20 minutes.
While the dough is resting, prepare the filling. In a medium bowl, combine the chopped spinach, crumbled feta cheese, fresh dill, red chili flakes (if using), and black pepper. Mix well and set aside.
Divide the rested dough into 4 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball.
Using a rolling pin, roll out one ball of dough into a thin, round or oval sheet about 12 inches in diameter.
Place a quarter of the spinach and feta filling on one half of the dough, leaving about 1 inch of space around the edges.
Fold the other half of the dough over the filling to form a semicircle. Press the edges firmly to seal.
Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a small amount of butter or olive oil to the pan.
Carefully place the folded gozleme onto the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crisp. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.
Cut each gozleme into pieces and serve warm. Enjoy!
