Steps
Steps
- 1Mix the flour, yoghurt, water, olive oil and salt into a soft dough, knead for 5 minutes until smooth, then cover and rest for 30 minutes.
- 2Squeeze the chopped spinach hard in your hands to soften it and press out its water, then mix it with the cheese, spring onions, Aleppo pepper and black pepper.
- 3Divide the dough into 4 balls and roll each on a lightly floured surface into a very thin rectangle, about 40 × 25 cm.
- 4Spread a quarter of the filling over one half of each sheet, fold the other half over and press the edges to seal.
- 5Heat a large dry frying pan or flat griddle over medium-high heat and cook each gözleme for 2–3 minutes a side, until golden with dark blisters and hot through.
- 6Brush both sides with the melted butter as it comes off the pan, cut into pieces and serve hot with the lemon wedges.
