Dough Preparation
- In a stand mixer, combine flour, extra virgin olive oil, salt, and water. Mix on medium-high speed for about 2.5 minutes until a smooth and pliable dough forms.
- Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rest for 20 minutes at room temperature.
Spinach & Feta Filling Preparation
- In a large mixing bowl, combine baby spinach, minced garlic, eggs, and season with pepper. Scrunch the spinach to wilt slightly.
- Fold in the creamy Danish feta and optional mozzarella until well incorporated.
Meat Filling Preparation
- Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté chopped garlic and onions until fragrant and translucent, about 3 minutes.
- Add diced capsicum, ground beef or lamb, and season with cumin, paprika, and cayenne. Cook until the meat is well browned, about 5-7 minutes.
- Allow the filling to cool before assembling your Gozleme.
Shaping the Gozleme
- Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces and roll each into a rectangle about 1/8 inch thick.
- Spread your desired filling on one half of the rolled dough, then fold the other half over and press the edges firmly to seal.
Cooking the Gozleme
- Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place each Gozleme in the hot skillet and cook for about 3 minutes on each side.
- Keep an eye on them to avoid burning and ensure they turn golden brown and crispy.
Serving Gozleme
- Transfer the Gozleme to a cutting board and let them cool slightly before slicing into wedges.
- Serve immediately with fresh lemon wedges on the side.

Notes
Ensure fillings are not overly full to avoid breaking. Cook in batches to keep Gozleme hot and crisp.
