Traditional potato-filled gözleme is made by filling thin, hand-rolled dough and cooking it on a griddle. A staple of village breakfasts, this hearty pastry is especially enjoyable with tea.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Knead the dough

15 min

Knead the flour, lukewarm water, salt, and one spoonful of oil into a soft dough. Cover and let it rest for 30 minutes.

2

Prepare the filling

10 min

Heat the oil in a pan and sauté the chopped onion until lightly golden. Add the boiled and mashed potatoes, red pepper flakes, and salt. Mix and let the filling cool until lukewarm.

3

Roll and fill

10 min

Divide the dough into balls and roll each into a thin round. Spread filling over one half, fold the other half over it, and shape into a half-moon.

4

Cook on the griddle

10 min

Cook the gözleme on a hot griddle or in a large pan over medium heat until both sides are speckled brown. Brush with butter as they cook and serve hot.

Reminder

Important: Resting the dough well makes it easier to roll thin; dough that has not rested will spring back and tear. Note: Do not cook the gözleme over high heat. Cook over medium heat until both sides are speckled brown and the filling is hot. Contains gluten (wheat).
