Turkish Stuffed Flatbread (Gozleme)
Turkish Stuffed Flatbread, known as Gözleme, is a traditional Turkish dish that features thin layers of unleavened dough filled with a variety of delicious ingredients. The dough is typically made from flour, water, and salt, creating a thin and elastic texture when rolled out. The most common fillings include a mixture of spinach and feta cheese, though other variations may include minced meat, potatoes, herbs, or a combination of ingredients.
Ingredients
Dough:
- 1 cup lukewarm water
- 1 teaspoon butter-flavored shortening
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon white sugar
- 2 ⅓ cups bread flour
- 1 teaspoon yeast
Filing:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- ½ medium onion, chopped
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 ½ cups frozen chopped spinach – thawed, drained, and squeezed dry
- ½ teaspoon garlic, minced
- 6 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, or as needed
Instructions
- Place lukewarm water, shortening, salt, sugar, bread flour, and yeast in a bread machine in the order listed. Run Dough cycle. Remove dough from the machine at the kneading, 20 minutes.
- Divide dough into 5 pieces and roll them into balls. Place on a floured surface, cover with a slightly damp cloth, and leave to rest for 20 to 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, melt oil and butter for filling in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add onion and salt and cook, stirring frequently, until onions soften, about 10 minutes. Add spinach and garlic and cook for another 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat.
- Roll dough circles into flat rounds, 5 to 6 inches in diameter. Fill one half each circle with spinach mixture, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, then fold the other half over and seal the edges.
- Preheat a griddle or large frying pan over medium-high heat. Brush one side of each gozleme with oil and place on the hot pan; cook until base is golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Brush top side with olive oil, turn, and cook until golden, another 2 to 3 minutes.
