How to make Gözleme, Turkish flatbread with cheese? Prepare the necessary ingredients for the dough. Sift the flour into a bowl, add water at room temperature and vegetable oil, knead a soft, elastic, non-stick dough (keep in mind that you may need a little more or less flour), roll it into a ball, wrap it in cling film or a bag and send it to refrigerator for an hour.

Fry the flatbreads in a hot frying pan for 4-5 minutes on each side, usually these flatbreads are fried without oil, but if you want, you can grease the frying pan a little with oil. Grease the finished flatbreads with butter. These flatbreads are best eaten hot. Turkish gozleme flatbread is ready, bon appetit!
