Gozleme (Turkish Stuffed Flatbread)

Women in the Anatolian towns learned to roll these by arm and shoulder, which is why the dough is stretched rather than rolled and the shape is always irregular. Cook them on a dry griddle so the filling crisps without any added oil. Cheese, potato and spinach are the usual fillings, and they are folded into sealed packets rather than left open.
