Ingredients
- ¾ cup Greek yogurt - I’ve used non-fat
- 1 cup self raising flour - or all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder - only add if using all purpose flour
- 1 ½ tablespoons extra virgin olive oil for frying
- Good pinch of salt
- Lemon wedges for serving
Filling
- 2 ½ cups (packed) fresh spinach or baby spinach
- 100g / 3.5oz feta cheese
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, add the flour, salt and Greek yogurt. * If using plain all purpose flour also add in the baking powder Start by mixing with a spoon, then using one hand mix together in the bowl until it forms one rough ball
- Transfer the dough to a clean lightly floured surface/table. Knead with your hands for 3-5 minutes until you achieve a smooth ball then allow the dough to rest for 10 minutes*If it's too sticky or wet, sprinkle lightly with flour as needed, some brands of yogurt are more wet so require more flour
- In the meantime make the filling. Chop up the spinach, then place in a bowl and use your hands to scrunch it to break it down more
- Crumble in the feta cheese, season with salt and pepper, then use your hands to mix it with the spinach
- Cut the dough into 2 equal pieces and roll them into balls
- Dust the table with flour, using a rolling pin flatten the dough to create a thin flat circle. Remember to keep sprinkling flour on the dough and flip it upside down every now and then whilst rolling it flatRoll it as thin as you can without it tearing to create a rough circle or oval shape (approx 25-30 cm in diameter)
- Add half of the spinach mixture evenly to one half of the dough
- Pick up the other side and place over the filling so that the ends of the dough meet. Use your fingers to gently seal all the edges downRepeat the above steps with the second dough ball and remaining filling
- Heat a large fry pan or skillet which will fit the whole gozleme to medium heat and add 2 teaspoons of olive oil. Gently place down one of the gozleme into the pan
- Brush the top with olive oil or use an oil spray. Cook for 3-5 minutes and check the color by lifting one edge up. Once golden, use a spatula to flip over the gozleme. Then gently press it down with the spatula to help flatten it, which will also cook the inside better
- Once the second side is golden brown, remove from the pan and place on a chopping board. Repeat the above steps with the second doughServe them nice and hot, slice into triangles with a squeeze of lemon and enjoy your homemade Gozleme!
