Ingredients

• 500 grams All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 250 milliliters Cold water
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 300 grams Fresh spinach
• 200 grams Feta cheese
• 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Butter or oil for cooking

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt.

Step 2

Gradually add the cold water and olive oil to the flour, mixing with your hands until a soft dough forms.

Step 3

Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Step 4

Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for at least 15 minutes.

Step 5

While the dough is resting, prepare the filling: wash and drain the spinach, and then chop it finely.

Step 6

In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped spinach, crumbled feta cheese, finely chopped onion, parsley, and black pepper, mixing well to combine.

Step 7

Divide the rested dough into 4 equal portions.

Step 8

On a floured surface, roll each portion of dough into a thin circle about 12 inches (30 cm) in diameter.

Step 9

Place a quarter of the spinach and feta filling on one half of the dough circle, leaving a border around the edge.

Step 10

Fold the other half of the dough over the filling to form a semi-circle. Press the edges to seal.

Step 11

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add butter or oil.

Step 12

Cook each gozleme for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown and crisp.

Step 13

Remove from the skillet and repeat with the remaining gozleme. Serve warm.
