Authentic Gözleme Recipe Turkiye, Asia

Both a favorite Turkish street food and a part of Turkish breakfast, Anatolian stuffed flatbread, gözleme is traditionally made with unleavened dough and can have an array of fillings — cheese and spinach, cheese and parsley, potato, eggplant, meat, and a herb filling are the most common ones. However, gözleme can have a sweet filling as well. The preparation starts with making the dough from just flour, water, and salt, but some recipes will also include yeast, oil, and yogurt, which make the dough less brittle once cooked. The dough is divided into smaller portions, then rolled until paper-thin, filled and folded either in half or as an envelope. It is then griddled on a sac, a heated convex iron plate, and brushed with butter to moisten the dough. Gözleme is typically served with either a yogurt drink ayran or Turkish tea cay.
