Instructions:
1.1. In a bowl, mix together the warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
1.2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Create a well in the center.
1.3. Pour the yeast mixture into the well and mix until a shaggy dough forms.
1.4. Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
1.5. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
2.1. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
2.2. Add the scallions and mushrooms to the skillet and sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and any released liquid has evaporated.
2.3. Stir in the currants and spinach, and cook until the spinach has wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
2.4. Remove the skillet from heat and let the mixture cool.
2.5. Once cooled, mix in the feta and cheddar cheese until well combined.
3.1. Preheat a large non-stick frying pan or griddle over medium heat.
3.2. Divide the dough into 6 equal pieces and roll each piece into a ball.
3.3. On a floured surface, roll each dough ball into a thin circle or oval, about 6-8 inches in diameter.
3.4. Place a generous scoop of the filling mixture on one half of the dough, spreading it evenly but leaving a border around the edges.
3.5. Fold the dough over to cover the filling and press the edges firmly to seal.
4.1. Brush both sides of each filled gozleme with the remaining olive oil.
4.2. Place the gozleme in the preheated pan or griddle and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crisp.
4.3. Remove from the pan and let it cool slightly before slicing.
5.1. Serve the Mini Spinach, Feta, and Mushroom Gozleme warm with lemon wedges or your favorite dipping sauce.
Tips:
- For a crisper gozleme, make sure to roll the dough as thin as possible without tearing it.
- You can experiment with different types of fillings such as ground meat, other vegetables, or even different types of cheese.
- Make sure to drain the spinach well after washing to avoid excess moisture that can make the dough soggy.
- Use a non-stick skillet or a cast-iron pan for more even cooking and a golden-brown finish.
- Serve hot with a side of yogurt or a squeeze of lemon juice for an extra burst of flavor.
