Turkish Stuffed Flatbread (Gozleme)


Instructions:
Prepare the Dough:
In a large mixing bowl, sift the flour and create a well in the center. Add the warm water, dry yeast, yogurt (if using), olive oil, and salt. Mix by hand or with a dough hook until combined. Knead for about 3 minutes, adjusting with extra flour or water as needed. Divide the dough into 6 pieces and shape into balls. Place on a floured surface, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm place for 30 minutes.
Make the Spinach Feta Filling:
In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. SautΓ© the diced onion until translucent. Add the spinach, dill, parsley, salt, and red pepper flakes, cooking until the spinach wilts. Stir in the crumbled feta and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
Roll Out the Dough:
On a floured surface, roll each dough ball into a large circle, ensuring it’s large enough to fit your skillet when folded in half. Dust with flour as needed.
Fill the Gozleme:
Divide the spinach feta filling into 6 portions and place in the center of each rolled-out dough. Fold the top half down over the filling, then fold the bottom half up. Gently tuck the ends under to seal.
Cook the Gozleme:
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large frying pan. Cook each gozleme for a few minutes on each side until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining gozleme, adding more oil as necessary.
