Gozleme with Spinach and Feta is a traditional Turkish flatbread stuffed with a savory filling of wilted spinach and creamy feta cheese. Pan-cooked until golden and crisp, it makes for a delicious snack, appetizer, or light meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup water (more as needed)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (plus more for cooking)
  • 1 tbsp yogurt (optional, for softer dough)
  • 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
  • 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (optional)
  • 1/4 tsp ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, mix flour and salt. Add water, olive oil, and yogurt if using. Knead until a soft, smooth dough forms. Cover and let rest for 30 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, prepare the filling: in a pan, wilt spinach over medium heat with a touch of oil if needed. Let cool, then mix with feta, parsley, and black pepper.
  3. Divide rested dough into 4 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a thin rectangle or circle on a floured surface.
  4. Place a few spoonfuls of filling on one half of the dough, leaving a border. Fold over and press edges to seal.
  5. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Brush lightly with oil and cook each gozleme for 2–3 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.
  6. Slice and serve warm with lemon wedges or yogurt dip if desired.

Notes

  • Dough can be made ahead and refrigerated overnight.
  • Substitute spinach with Swiss chard or kale if preferred.
  • Add a pinch of chili flakes for a spicy version.
