  • 1 teaspoon caster sugar

  • 375g plain flour

Method

 

  1. Combine 300ml warm water, yeast, salt and sugar in a jug.    Stir with a fork. Cover.    Stand in a warm place for 5 minutes or until bubbles form on the surface.
     

  2. Sift flour into a large bowl.
     

  3. Add yeast mixture and 2 tablespoons oil.    
     

  4. Mix to form a soft dough.   Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface.  Knead for 6 minutes or until elastic.   Divide dough into 4 equal balls.
     

  5. Place on a greased baking tray.   Cover with a clean tea towel.   Stand in a warm place for 25 minutes or until dough doubles in size.
     

  6. Roll each piece of dough into a 30x40cm oval shape.   Place one-quarter of spinach over half of each oval.   Top with crumbled feta and grated Cheddar cheese.    Fold dough over to enclose filling.   Press edges together to seal.
     

  7. Preheat a heavy-based frying pan on medium-high heat.
     

  8. Add a small amount of olive oil and cook for 3 minutes or until base is golden.    Turn over and cook for 3 minutes or until golden and crisp.
     

  9. Cut gozleme into slices. Serve with lemon wedges and salt and pepper.
