Feta and Lamb Gozleme

July 18, 2020 by admin Leave a Comment

Tonight I made gozleme for the first time, and it turned out really well. I hunted my cookbooks and online for recipes, and they were all varied. Some had yeast and some didn’t. Some were flour and oil. Some included yoghurt. In the end I based it on this recipe from Gourmet Traveller.

I made half the dough recipe for the two of us.

100g wholemeal flour
200g plain flour
130ml water
75ml plain yoghurt
1 tbsp vegetable oil

I mixed these in the bread machine for 10 minutes.

Read the recipe to see how to roll it out. I think I added too much oil in the rolling process, as it was a little greasy.

Once rolled and folded, the dough rested for about half an hour and that was fine, as it absorbed the oil more and softened.

For the filling I combined
shredded silverbeet leaves (raw)
spring onions
finely chopped roast lamb
minced garlic
home-made feta
mozarella
2 tsp Turkish spice mix from Herbie’s Spices
juice of 1/4 lemon
black pepper and sea salt

Assemble and cook as in the recipe.

It’s a bit of work to roll out the dough. I was really happy with the finished thickness and texture.

I’ve finally made decent brioche thanks to this recipe. My previous attempts have involved different recipes with a lot more butter. These were pretty perfect with Vietnamese pork and slaw.

We’ve started making sourdough again, using a starter from sourdough.com. Here’s our first loaf of multigrain. Off to a good start.

THE COOK

I now cook on Mornington Peninsula in Victoria, Australia, having moved recently from the Adelaide Hills in South Australia. The region is similar to the Mediterranean, with temperate climate, fertile hills, nearby ocean, wonderful local vegetables, fruit, wine and meat produced locally. Meanwhile our Adelaide Hills garden has cherry, peach, almond, citrus, olive, pomegranate and fig trees which are suffering neglect! Cooking has been a growing passion for me, about connecting culture, creativity, community and spirit.
