Gozleme is one of those recipes that may seem like it requires a lot of effort, but I truly promise you that it does not! To make, you need a few basic ingredients
Gozleme Ingredients:
To make your Gozleme Dough, you will need:
- Yeast
- Flour
- Water
- Salt
- Sugar
Once you’ve combined your dough ingredients, let the dough rest for half an hour or so (or until it’s doubled) and then it’s time to roll it out and add your favourite fillings! If you want to freeze the dough so you can continue to make these Gozlemes at another time, you can also do that at this point.
Gozleme Filling Ideas:
Along with this Spinach and Cheese Filling, you can add pretty much any type of filling you like to your Gozleme, a few of our favourites include:
- Feta, Mozzarella and Tasty Cheese – Find the recipe here.
- Lamb, Spinach and Feta – Find the recipe here.
- Spiced Beef and Cheese
- Thinly sliced Potato and Cheese
My Tips for Making the BEST Gozleme:
- You can double this recipe. Please ensure you do not exceed the ‘maximum fill’ line if making in a Thermomix.
- If you find your dough is too sticky, add a little extra flour to it when dividing into four.
- I like to cook my Gozleme in ghee (I use the recipe from Cookidoo to make mine) but you can also use extra virgin olive oil.
- The cooked Gozleme can be frozen.
- You can play with the quantities of of cheese if you wish. We also love these gozlemes with a sprinkle of parmesan cheese too.
