Begin by preparing the dough. In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Make a well in the center and gradually add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and warm water, mixing until a soft dough forms.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 15 minutes.
While the dough rests, prepare the filling. Finely chop the onion and garlic cloves. Slice the mushrooms thinly.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until translucent.
Add the garlic and mushrooms to the skillet and continue to sauté for another 5 minutes until the mushrooms are soft and cooked through.
Stir in the fresh spinach and cook for 1-2 minutes until wilted. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked spinach and mushroom mixture with grated vegan cheese, black pepper, dried oregano, and lemon juice. Mix well.
Divide the rested dough into four equal pieces. Roll each piece into a thin, large circle about 8-10 inches in diameter on a floured surface.
Place a quarter of the filling onto one half of each dough circle, leaving a small border around the edge.
Fold the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape. Press the edges together to seal.
Heat a non-stick pan or a griddle over medium heat. Cook each gozleme for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until they are golden brown and crispy.
Once cooked, remove from the heat, let it cool for a minute, then cut into slices. Serve warm and enjoy!
