| Gozleme (Turkish Pancakes) Serves 3 Pastry 3 cups flour 1 dessertspoon salt 1 cup water Topping 1 2 boiled potatoes lightly mashed with fork ¼ cup flat leaf parsley chopped 1 teaspoon crushed chili flakes salt to taste olive oil to seal edges Topping 2 1 cup feta ¼ cup flat leaf parsley chopped ½ teaspoon black pepper olive oil to seal edges Method 1. Mix pastry ingredients and knead until elastic. Cover and rest for 30 minutes. 2. Split dough into seven even portions. Roll each portion into 50cm-60cm diameter flat rounds; begin by rolling with normal rolling pin and when dough it too large to continue, switch to a thin wooden rod rolling pin. The technique for using the wooden rod is to curl the dough around the stick so it coils over itself and then roll the dough by starting with your hands in the middle of the rod and rolling the rod back and forth with your gradually rolling your hands to the edges. Make sure the dough is floured enough so it will not stick to itself as you roll it on the rod. Completely unravel the dough and then start from a different edge. Continue until you have an even 40cm-50cm diameter flat round. 3. Brush pastry with olive oil and spoon a topping into the center of the pancake. Spread topping into a 20cm circle. Oil the outside edges of the pancake then fold sides into center to make a square pocket. Fill and fold all pancakes before cooking. 4. Lightly oil and medium heat a flat-based frying pan. Cook each side of the pancake until golden brown. 5. Serve with salad |
