This yeasted dough is so soft and easy to work with. I don't really like kneading by hand, so I used a bread machine instead for the kneading part only. You can stuff it with whatever fillings you like or leave it unstuffed. Great for snacking or a side dish.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

Dough:

  • 1 cup lukewarm water

  • 1 teaspoon butter-flavored shortening

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • 1 teaspoon white sugar

  • 2 ⅓ cups bread flour

  • 1 teaspoon yeast

Filing:

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 1 tablespoon butter

  • ½ medium onion, chopped

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • 1 ½ cups frozen chopped spinach - thawed, drained, and squeezed dry

  • ½ teaspoon garlic, minced

  • 6 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, or as needed

Directions

  1. Place lukewarm water, shortening, salt, sugar, bread flour, and yeast in a bread machine in the order listed. Run Dough cycle. Remove dough from the machine at the kneading, 20 minutes.

  2. Divide dough into 5 pieces and roll them into balls. Place on a floured surface, cover with a slightly damp cloth, and leave to rest for 20 to 30 minutes.

  3. Meanwhile, melt oil and butter for filling in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add onion and salt and cook, stirring frequently, until onions soften, about 10 minutes. Add spinach and garlic and cook for another 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat.

  4. Roll dough circles into flat rounds, 5 to 6 inches in diameter. Fill one half each circle with spinach mixture, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, then fold the other half over and seal the edges.

  5. Preheat a griddle or large frying pan over medium-high heat. Brush one side of each gozleme with oil and place on the hot pan; cook until base is golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Brush top side with olive oil, turn, and cook until golden, another 2 to 3 minutes.
