🛒 Ingredients

✓ 2 cups all-purpose flour
✓ 1/2 tsp sea salt
✓ 1 cup warm water
✓ 1 tbsp olive oil (for dough)
✓ Cooking spray (for griddle)
✓ 1 tbsp fresh dill (chopped)
✓ 1 tbsp fresh parsley (chopped)
✓ 1 tsp fresh mint (chopped)
✓ 150g low-fat feta cheese (crumbled)
✓ 50g low-fat ricotta
✓ 1/2 cup fat-free Greek yogurt
✓ 1/4 tsp black pepper
✓ Pinch of red pepper flakes
✓ 2 green onions (thinly sliced)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Make the Dough: Combine flour and salt in a large bowl. Create a well in the center and pour in warm water and olive oil. Mix with a wooden spoon until shaggy, then knead by hand for 5–7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover with a damp cloth and rest for 15 minutes.

2. Prepare the Filling: In a small bowl, mix crumbled low-fat feta, ricotta, Greek yogurt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes until combined. Fold in fresh dill, parsley, mint, and green onions. Set aside.

3. Divide the Dough: Turn rested dough onto a lightly floured surface. Divide into 4 equal portions and roll each into a ball. Let rest for 5 minutes under the damp cloth.

4. Roll Out Thin: Working with one ball at a time, roll dough as thin as possible (nearly transparent, about 1–2mm). If it springs back, let it rest 1 minute and continue rolling. Aim for a 10–12 inch oval shape.

5. Fill & Fold: Spread 3–4 tablespoons of cheese filling across the center of each thin dough circle, leaving a 1-inch border on all sides. Fold the dough in half over the filling, then fold again into a rough rectangular packet, sealing edges gently.

6. Heat the Griddle: Place a cast-iron skillet or flat griddle over medium-high heat (about 400°F). Once hot, lightly spray with cooking spray—2–3 quick bursts only.

7. Cook First Side: Carefully place one filled packet onto the hot griddle. Cook for 3–4 minutes until the bottom is golden brown with light charred spots. Do not move it; let it set.

8. Gently flip the gozleme with a wide spatula. Lightly re-spray the griddle if needed. Cook the second side for 2–3 minutes until golden and the cheese inside is warm and slightly melted. Transfer to a warm plate.: undefined

9. Serve Warm: Serve each gozleme hot, optionally with a dollop of fat-free Greek yogurt on the side and a squeeze of fresh lemon. Cut into triangles for easy sharing.
