Ingredients:

GOZLEME PASTRY:
375g flour
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
3/4 cup water
1/2 tsp salt

FILLING

SPINACH & FETA:
300g baby spinach
2 garlic cloves
2 eggs
1 tsp black pepper
300g Danish feta
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

SPICED LAMB OR BEEF:
1 tbsp olive oil
2 garlic cloves , minced
1 onion , finely chopped
500g beef or lamb mince
1 capsicum / bell pepper
90g baby spinach
1.5 tsp cumin powder
1 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp cayenne
3/4 tsp each salt and pepper
1 tbsp water
120g Danish feta

Directions:
PASTRY:
Fit stand mixer with dough hook. Mix for 2.5 minutes on medium high speed 7 until smooth. Dough should be a pliable, smooth ball, not sticky.
Cover and rest for 20 minutes. Sprinkle work surface with flour. Cut dough into 4 pieces. Roll out.

FILLING:
LAMB OR BEEF FILLING:
Heat oil in large skillet over high heat. Cook garlic and onion for 1 minute. Add capsicum, cook for 2 minutes. Add beef and cook until it changes from pink to brown, breaking it up as you go. Add cumin, paprika, cayenne (if using), salt, pepper and water. Cook for 2 minutes.
Add spinach, stir until wilted. Cool before using.

SPINACH FETA FILLING:
Place spinach, garlic, egg and pepper in a bowl. Scrunch with hands to reduce volume and make spinach "floppy". Add feta and stir through.

MAKING GOZLEME:
Spread Filling on half the pastry, pushing to the edge. Sprinkle Lamb/Beef Filling with crumbled feta. Sprinkle Spinach Feta with mozzarella cheese. Fold other side of pastry over to cover Filling. Press down edges, pressing out excess air pockets trapped inside as you go. Use water if needed to seal well. Sprinkle flour on a round pizza paddle (or similar). Slide gozleme onto paddle.

COOKING:
Heat 1.5 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Slide gozleme into skillet. Cook, lightly pressing down, until deep golden and crispy - about 3 minutes. Flip and cook, pressing down lightly, until crispy.
