Gozleme

Tonight I wanted to cook something that utilised some leftover BBQ chicken and what better way than Gozleme. I have been known to tell Charlie (3.5 year old) that these are 'chicken pancakes', which he thinks is just great. 

I made the dough in the Thermomix in the afternoon, then let it prove for about an hour and a half in a warm spot (underneath the light in the rangehood is perfect). These are super easy and like many of my recipes, you can just change the filling depending on what you have available.

Gozleme

Ingredients

Dough:

200 grams plain flour

1/3 - 1/2 cup warm water

1/2 packet dry yeast (approx 3.5 grams)

1/2 teaspoon sugar

1 teaspoon salt

Lemon wedges

Filling:

Chopped BBQ chicken

Toasted pine nuts
Handful of spinach leaves

Feta (Danish, Greek, whatever you have)

Method

Combine flour, sugar, yeast and salt in the Thermomix bowl. Lock the lid and start the Knead function. Pour in 1/3 cup of the warm water. The dough should come together easily. You may need to add a little more water, just until it forms a dough in the bowl. Knead for 3 mins. Wrap loosely in cling film or fold into the Thermomix bread mat and allow to prove in a warm area for around an hour and a half.

Divide mixture into 3 equal portions. Roll each one out on a lightly floured bench until you have a flat circle, roughly 3 mm thick.

Cover half of each circle with chopped BBQ chicken, chunks of feta, spinach and pine nuts. Fold the remaining half over the filling. Cook each one in a frypan in a little olive oil. Takes around 3 minutes each side. Serve with lemon wedges to squeeze over the gozleme.

As can be seen in the pic above, we had these with a quick Turkish carrot salad as side dish.
