Turkish Gozleme

Gozleme, or the Turkish pancake, is made from a thinly rolled dough rather than a batter. While it's not a traditional pancake, you can find this popular street food advertised as such across Turkey! Feta and spinach are a popular flavor combination, but you can also find them stuffed with other savory fillings like potatoes, cheese, and meat.  Enjoy it with a cup of Turkish tea for an authentic experience! 

Ingredients (for 1 pancake, serves 1-3 people):

For the Dough:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup water, plus more if needed
  • 1 tsp olive oil

For the Filling:

  • 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tbsp olive oil 

For Cooking:

  • 1-2 tbsp butter or olive oil

Instructions:

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt.
  2. Make a well in the center and add the water and olive oil. Mix until the dough comes together.
  3. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 min. or until smooth and elastic.
  4. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for about 30 min.
  5. Heat 1 tsp of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
  6. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened and translucent, about 3-4 min.
  7. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute.
  8. Add the chopped spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 min. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  9. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly and stir in the crumbled feta cheese.
  10. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a large, thin circle or rectangle, about 12-14 inches in diameter.
  11. Spread the filling evenly over half of the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
  12. Fold the other half of the dough over the filling and press the edges to seal.
  13. Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and add 1 tbsp of butter or olive oil.
  14. Carefully place the gozleme in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 min. on each side, until golden brown and crispy.
  15. Add more butter or oil as needed when flipping.
  16. Cut the gozleme into wedges and serve hot. Enjoy!
