Gozleme
Gozleme are Turkish filled flatbreads stuffed with spinach and feta, made effortless with the Thermomix TM7. The machine kneads the yoghurt-enriched yeast dough until silky and elastic, while the filling ingredients are blended in seconds. Crispy outside and melting within, these golden parcels are ideal as a snack, lunch or casual main course.
About this recipe
Gozleme Thermomix TM7 brings the beloved Turkish street-food flatbread straight into your kitchen with the help of your all-in-one kitchen machine. These golden, crispy parcels hide a savoury spinach and feta filling, wrapped in a soft yeast dough enriched with Greek style natural yoghurt and extra virgin olive oil. Anyone searching for gozleme recipes knows the challenge: kneading the dough until smooth and elastic, then resting and rolling it thinly enough for that signature crisp bite. The TM7 takes over the heavy work, weighing flour and yeast directly into the bowl and kneading the dough hands-free while you crumble the feta. The result is a quick weeknight dinner or weekend brunch that tastes like an Istanbul market stall. Serve the hot gozleme wedges with lemon and a spoonful of yoghurt, and watch them disappear far faster than they took to make.
Preparation tips
- Roll each gozleme dough ball thinly on a lightly floured work surface so the spinach and feta filling stays visible beneath the surface and the flatbread turns evenly crispy in the pan.
- Prepare the yeast dough in advance and let the portions rest, covered, in the fridge; the yoghurt-enriched dough becomes even easier to roll and develops a more tender bite the next day.
- For a kid-friendly version, replace the feta with mild grated cheese and the spinach with finely chopped herbs, then cut the cooked gozleme into small triangles for easy dipping.
Recipe variations
- Make a lactose-free gozleme by using plant-based yoghurt in the dough and a lactose-free cheese or firm tofu crumbled with a pinch of salt in place of the feta.
- For a festive seasonal variation, fill the flatbread with grated pumpkin, sage and mozzarella in autumn, or with courgette, mint and feta in summer for a lighter, fresher gozleme.
