Ingredients

9 servings

DOUGH

350 g flour, all-purpose flour

4 g salt, ⅔ tsp

10 g honey

125 ml water

90 cream cheese

TOMATO SAUCE

70 g tomato paste, 1 small can

120 ml water

1 g Italian seasoning

FILLING

275 g grated cheese

Tips

Use room temperature cream cheese before starting. This makes kneading easier and results in a smoother dough.

If you have extra time, let the dough rest a bit longer (up to 30 minutes). This makes the dough more elastic, making it easier to roll out.

Choose a cheese that melts well. You can also use mozzarella for a gooey filling. A mix of cheeses (like mozzarella and cheddar) can add extra flavor.

Add finely chopped vegetables if you like.

Instructions

1

Place the flour, salt, water, honey, and cream cheese in a large bowl. Mix well and knead the dough for 10-12 minutes. Cover the bowl and let the dough rest for 10-20 minutes.

2

In a separate bowl, combine the tomato paste, water, and Italian seasoning, stirring until smooth.

3

Divide the dough into 9 equal pieces and shape into small balls.

4

Take a ball of dough and roll it out into a flat circle. Spread a thin layer of tomato sauce on one half, then sprinkle with some grated cheese. Moisten the edges of the dough with a little water and fold it over, sealing it well.

5

Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the filled dough on both sides until golden brown and fully cooked. Cover with a tea towel to keep the gozleme soft.
