Feeling peckish? Well, why not roll up your sleeves and knead down a traditional gozleme.

Ingredients

• 2 cups of plain flour
• 1/2 teaspoon of salt
• 210ml warm water
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Utensils

• Medium bowl
• Rolling pin
• Measuring cups
• Measuring spoons
• Mixing spoon
• Deep fry pan
• Chopping board
• Knife
• Serving platter

Method

• Add plain flour and salt to a bowl and mix together
• Slowly pour vegetable oil and gently mix
• Pour the warm water to the bowl and mix until you have a thick and smooth consistency.
• Use your hands to knead the dough for approximately 5 minutes
• Divide dough into half to create two dough balls
• Cover the two dough balls with a tea towel for a minimum of 2 hours for it to set
• Once the dough has been set, generously sprinkle plain flour down onto the bench
• Place a dough ball onto the plain flour and knead the dough into a rectangular shape
• Once the dough is evenly flattened out, add half a teaspoon of vegetable oil and massage it into the dough, keeping the rectangular shape (this will stretch the dough to an even and thin consistency)
• Add your choice of filling to one half of the dough. For example; mozzarella cheese, silver beet spinach, feta cheese and mozzarella cheese. Optional: Add salt and pepper
• Fold the other half of the dough over the filling and pinch the edge to create a pocket
• Finally, add the gozleme to a pre-heated deep fry pan (with a generous drizzle of extra virgin olive oil or cold-pressed coconut oil)
• Flip the gozleme over after light brown spots and caramel colour appear on the dough facing down on the fry pan
• Once both sides of the gozleme have light brown spots and caramel in colour, carefully place it on a chopping board
• Carefully cut the gozleme into 8 even pieces
• And whaa-laa! Serve with a wedge of fresh lemon! Optional: Add a side of tzatziki 🙂
