🥟🧀 Mini Gozleme Parcels

🍴 Ingredients:

For the Dough:

2 cups plain flour
½ tsp salt
¾ cup warm water
1 tbsp olive oil

For the Filling:

200g baby spinach, chopped
200g feta cheese, crumbled
½ cup grated mozzarella
1 small garlic clove, minced

For Cooking:

Olive oil, for brushing

🛠️ Preparation:

1. Prepare the Dough:

In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt.
Add warm water and olive oil. Mix until a dough forms.
Knead on a floured surface for about 5–7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 20–30 minutes.

2. Make the Filling:

In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped spinach, crumbled feta, mozzarella, and minced garlic.
Mix gently until everything is evenly distributed.

3. Assemble the Parcels:

Divide the dough into small equal-sized balls (about 8–10).
Roll each ball out thinly into a small square or round shape.
Place a spoonful of filling in the center.
Fold into a neat square or triangle, sealing the edges firmly.

4. Cook:

Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat.
Brush each parcel lightly with olive oil.
Cook for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.

5. Serve:

Serve warm with a side of yogurt dip or a squeeze of lemon.
