Ingredients
3 cups (450g) plain flour
1 tsp salt
1 cup (250ml) warm water
2 tbsp olive oil
300g frozen spinach, thawed and drained
200g feta cheese, crumbled
1 cup shredded mozzarella
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
Salt and pepper to taste
Olive oil for brushing and frying
Instructions
In a large bowl, mix flour and salt. Add water and olive oil, then knead into a smooth dough. Cover and rest for 30 minutes.
In a separate bowl, combine spinach, feta, mozzarella, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
Divide the dough into 4 equal portions. Roll each into a thin rectangle on a floured surface.
Place a quarter of the filling on one half of the dough, then fold over and press edges to seal.
Heat a pan over medium heat. Brush both sides of the gozleme with olive oil and cook until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Repeat with remaining dough and filling. Slice and serve warm.
Notes
Ensure spinach is well-drained to avoid soggy filling.
You can use fresh spinach, sautéed and cooled, instead of frozen.
