Gözleme with Spinach

Gözleme with Spinach is a delightful Turkish baked dish featuring thin, gluten-free flatbreads stuffed with a savory mixture of fresh spinach and cheese. This dish is perfect for a light meal or snack, offering a delicious combination of flavors and textures.

Ingredients

• Gluten-free flour - 200 grams
• Water - 120 ml
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Fresh spinach - 150 grams (washed and chopped)
• Feta cheese - 100 grams (crumbled)
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Sesame seeds - 1 tablespoon (optional, for topping)

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free flour and salt. Gradually add water and olive oil, mixing until a smooth dough forms. Knead for about 5 minutes until pliable.
2. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 10 minutes.
3. In a separate bowl, mix the chopped spinach, crumbled feta cheese, and black pepper. Set aside.
4. Divide the rested dough into two equal portions. Roll each portion into a thin circle on a lightly floured surface.
5. Place half of the spinach and cheese mixture on one half of each circle, then fold the other half over to create a semicircle. Press the edges to seal.
6. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook each gözleme for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
7. If desired, sprinkle sesame seeds on top while cooking for added flavor and crunch.
8. Serve warm with a side of yogurt or a simple salad.
