Gozleme-Turkish Flatbread

Ingredients

• Uncooked tortilla (30 pcs.)
• 1 package feta cheese*
• 1 lb. spinach - fresh
• 2 bunches green onion
• salt and pepper to taste**

* We used Valbreso brand feta which comes in a 1 lb. container.
** Depending on how salty your feta is, you need to be cautious when adding extra salt.

This is a semi-homemade recipe for a typical gozleme as you can see we bought the uncooked tortillas at Cosco. A traditional gozleme dough is made with flour, water and salt. As for a filling, there are quite a few options, but the most common is spinach and feta. Preparation time is minimal between 20-30 minutes and cooking time is at mist 3 minutes per gozleme. You may cut back on prep time if you use crumbled feta.

Preparation

1. First, we prepare the filling. Crumble the feta cheese if not already using the crumbled kind.
   Chop green onions and spinach and combine well with cheese. Add salt and pepper. 
2. Now that the filling is ready, you can assemble your gozleme. Lay one tortilla flat on your working surface, sprinkle with 1-2 tablespoons of filling on one half of the tortilla, then fold the other half of tortilla over the filling. 
3. Heat a large nonstick pan with 2 tbsp of olive oil over medium heat.(You need a good nonstick pan to cook the gozleme or you can use a proper sized griddle as well. I do not recommend using a cast iron pan.) 
4. Transfer a gozleme to your pan when the oil is shimmering. Cook for 1-2 minutes, turn the other side and cook for another 1-2 minutes. 
5. Put aside and repeat for every gozleme.
