Step by Step guide

Step 1

Knead the dough: mix the flour with salt, then gradually add water. You should get a soft, elastic dough. Pour a little oil on the table and knead the dough, dividing it into 6–8 pieces. Take 1 piece of dough and roll it out on the table (pour a little oil) very, very thin, about 1–2 mm, until it is translucent.

Step 2

Prepare the filling: grate the cheese, finely chop the herbs, and mix them together. You can also use different filling options: cottage cheese + herbs, minced meat, egg + herbs.

Step 3

On one half of the dough, place the filling, spread it out, and cover with the other half, slightly pressing the edges together. Shape it like a dumpling, but make sure it fits in the pan.

Step 4

Heat a skillet (preferably cast iron) well, then reduce the heat to medium. Place the prepared gözleme in the skillet. Fry for 1-2 minutes, flip, fry for another minute, flip... and so on. In other words, the gözleme needs to be flipped several times until cooked. Fry until golden brown.

Step 5

After removing from the skillet onto a board, drizzle with oil, fold in half, let it soak for half a minute, and then lay it back down. Flip it over and do the same on the other side. Cut into small squares.
