Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon dry yeast
  • 1/2 cup warm water
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup fresh spinach
  • 1 small onion
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 chili
  • 1/2 cup sheep cheese feta
  • 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
  • 1 teaspoon savory
  • Extra olive oil for cooking and finishing

Instructions

  • Start by preparing the dough: In a large bowl, mix 2 cups of flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of sugar, 1 teaspoon of yeast, 1/2 cup of warm water, and 2 tablespoons of oil. Knead until smooth and elastic, then cover and let rest for about 30 minutes. This rest allows the yeast to activate and results in a soft, flaky crust.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the filling: Finely chop 1 cup of spinach, 1 small onion, 2 cloves of garlic, and 1 chili. In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté the onion, garlic, and chili until fragrant and translucent. Add the spinach and cook until wilted. Remove from heat, then crumble in 1/2 cup of sheep cheese (feta) and chopped parsley. Season with pepper and savory to taste. Mix well to combine.
  • After the dough has rested, divide it into 4 equal portions. Roll each into a thin, round disc, as thin as you can make without tearing. Place a generous spoonful of the filling onto one half of each disc, leaving space around the edges.
  • Fold the dough over the filling to form a semi-circle. Press the edges firmly to seal, then gently press with a rolling pin to flatten slightly. Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Brush with a little olive oil, then place the stuffed dough on the hot surface. Cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, until golden and crispy.
  • Remove from heat, cut into wedges, and serve hot. Optionally, brush with more olive oil for extra aroma and crunch. Enjoy your homemade, cheesy, crispy Goezleme—rustic, flavorful, and satisfying!
