Ingredients

• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Plain Greek yogurt
• 0.5 cup Water
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 300 grams Fresh spinach leaves, chopped
• 200 grams Feta cheese, crumbled
• 2 tablespoons Fresh dill, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon Red chili flakes (optional)
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Butter or olive oil (for cooking)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually add the yogurt and water while mixing until the dough comes together.

Step 2

Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic. Cover with a damp towel and let it rest for 20 minutes.

Step 3

While the dough is resting, prepare the filling. In a medium bowl, combine the chopped spinach, crumbled feta cheese, fresh dill, red chili flakes (if using), and black pepper. Mix well and set aside.

Step 4

Divide the rested dough into 4 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball.

Step 5

Using a rolling pin, roll out one ball of dough into a thin, round or oval sheet about 12 inches in diameter.

Step 6

Place a quarter of the spinach and feta filling on one half of the dough, leaving about 1 inch of space around the edges.

Step 7

Fold the other half of the dough over the filling to form a semicircle. Press the edges firmly to seal.

Step 8

Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a small amount of butter or olive oil to the pan.

Step 9

Carefully place the folded gozleme onto the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crisp. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.

Step 10

Cut each gozleme into pieces and serve warm. Enjoy!
