Gözleme is a traditional Turkish savory flatbread and pastry dish. It is made of hand-rolled dough that is lightly brushed with butter and eggs, filled with various ingredients, sealed, and cooked over a griddle. The name derives from the Turkish word "göz," meaning "compartment," in reference to the pocket of dough in which the fillings are placed.
Ingredients and Variations
Gözleme can be filled with a variety of ingredients, including:
The dough is typically made from flour, water, salt, and sometimes yeast. After the dough is prepared, it is divided into small balls, rolled out into thin circles, filled with the chosen ingredients, and then folded over to create a half-moon shape or a rectangle.
Preparation
The preparation of Gözleme involves several steps: 1. Dough Preparation: The dough is kneaded until smooth and left to rest. 2. Rolling: The dough is rolled out into thin sheets. 3. Filling: The chosen fillings are placed on one half of the dough. 4. Sealing: The dough is folded over the filling and the edges are sealed. 5. Cooking: The filled dough is cooked on a griddle or a traditional Turkish sac (a convex metal griddle) until golden brown and crispy.
Cultural Significance
Gözleme is a popular street food in Turkey and is often sold at local markets, festivals, and fairs. It is also a common homemade dish, enjoyed by families for breakfast, lunch, or as a snack. The dish is known for its versatility and can be adapted to include a wide range of fillings based on regional and personal preferences.
