Gozleme
Gozleme is a classic Turkish snack, or meal, made from yufka. Yufka is a universal thin flat pastry used for making gozleme, more complex layered pastries as well as baklava. The ingredients in the yufka vary, but the principles are the same, an unleavened dough made from flour, salt, water and sometimes egg, mixed, allowed to rest then rolled out until very thin, transparently thin in the case of baklava.
Ingredients
2 sheets pre-prepared yufka
80g, (3oz) strong flavoured, crumbly white cheese
¼ bunch parsley, chopped
55g (2oz) butter, melted
Method
1. Lay yufka flat on board or table.
2. Sprinkle cheese then parsley across a 15 x 15cm square.
3. Fold yufka over itself, sealing the filling in between at least 2 layers, with a pastry brush moistened with water.
4. Heat sac and place pastry over middle, turning from time to time to ensure base completely cooked.
5. Turnover and cook as above.
6. Remove from heat, brush with butter and serve warm.
Note
If cannot find yufka in Turkish or Middle-Eastern grocery shops, use filo pastry but use 2-3 sheets of filo for every 1 sheet of yufka. Brush a little plain yoghurt between the layers of filo.
