Equipment
- Rolling Pin
- Frying pan
- Mixing bowl
- Serrated knife
- Cutting board
Ingredients
Gozleme Dough
- 2 cups all-purpose flour plus extra for dusting
- 1 cup plain yogurt
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
Chicken and Mushroom Filling
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound chicken breast cut into small pieces
- 1 cup mushrooms sliced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped
- 1 cup feta cheese crumbled
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of flour, 1 cup of plain yogurt, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and 0.5 teaspoon of baking powder. Mix until the dough is smooth and elastic. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest while you prepare the filling.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add diced chicken breast and sauté for 5 minutes until cooked through. The chicken should be golden brown on the outside and tender inside.
- Add sliced mushrooms, 1 teaspoon of ground cumin, and 0.5 teaspoon of paprika to the pan. Sauté for another 3-4 minutes until the mushrooms are soft and aromatic.
- Stir in 2 tablespoons of fresh chopped parsley. Stir and set the mixture aside to cool slightly.
- Divide the dough into 4 parts. On a floured surface, roll each piece into a thin round, about 10 inches in diameter.
- Spread the chicken and mushroom mixture evenly on one half of each dough round. Add crumbled feta and season with black pepper.
- Fold the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape. Press the edges firmly to seal.
- Heat a dry frying pan over medium heat and cook each gozleme for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden and crispy.
