Spinach and Feta Gozleme

This flatbread only uses a few basic ingredients for the dough and the flatbreads are grilled in a pan, which makes it easier. The filling can be whatever you want, really. For this ones I'm going with the typical spinach and feta, with a slight adjustment.

Ingredients

6
  • 1 cup warm water ((250 ml))
  • 2+1/4 tsp dry yeast ((7 g))
  • 3 cup bread flour ((390 g))
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp yogurt ((30 g))
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 14 oz frozen spinach ((400 g))
  • 1 onion (, finely diced)
  • 7 oz feta cheese ((200 g))
  • 3.5 oz shredded mozzarella ((100 g))
  • 1 tsp chili flakes
  • 1 tsp garlic powder

Instructions

  1. 1

    Mix dry yeast with warm water and leave for 3-5 minutes for the yeast to activate.

  2. 2

    In a standing mixer bowl, add in the rest of the bread ingredients including yeast mixture. Mix to incorporate and then knead for 10 minutes. Form the dough into a ball and place it in a greased bowl and cover it tightly with a cling film. Leave until the dough rises double its size.

  3. 3

    Thaw the spinach and squeeze out the water. Then chop into small pieces. Put the spinach in a bowl together with the rest of the filling ingredients. Mix well and set aside. TIP: Divide the filling into 6 so that you get equal filling for each bread.

  4. 4

    Place the risen dough on a lightly floured working surface. Lightly knead into a log and cut it into 6 equal pieces. Form each piece into a ball.

  5. 5

    Take one ball and roll it into a very thin square, around 10 inch (25 cm). Place some filling in the center and spread evenly, leaving around 2 inch (5 cm) empty space all around.

  6. 6

    Fold each side to the center, making sure you cover the filling completely. Cook in hot pan with some oil for 3 minutes on each side (or until golden brown). Brush with some oil before flipping the bread.

  7. 7

    Meanwhile continue with the rest of the balls, cooking them as you go. Cover the cooked gozleme with a kitchen cloth to maintain them warm. Cut and enjoy!
