Turkish Gozleme with Cheese (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Dough

01 - All-purpose flour - 500 grams

02 - Salt - 8 grams

03 - Water - 300 to 400 milliliters

→ Filling

04 - Fresh parsley - one bunch

05 - Fresh cilantro - one bunch

06 - Turkish cheese (beyaz peynir or feta) - as needed

07 - Pepper - based on your taste

# Instructions:

01 - In a mixing bowl, add flour, salt, and half the water. Knead at medium speed, slowly pouring in the rest of the warm water until the dough feels soft and smooth (takes about 15 minutes).

02 - Cut the dough into small balls, about the size of a clementine (roughly 150 grams each). Cover them up and leave them on the counter to rest for an hour.

03 - Crumble the cheese into little pieces. Finely chop the parsley and cilantro and mix them with the cheese.

04 - Dust your workspace with flour and roll out one ball of dough super thin (aim for about 3mm thickness). Spread the cheese-herb mixture over half of the dough. Fold the other half over and seal the edges by pressing with a fork.

05 - Heat a skillet or griddle and toast the folded dough until brown spots form. Flip it over and cook the other side. You can brush it with melted clarified butter if you'd like.
