Ingredients

6 servings

•

1 cup lukewarm water
•

1 teaspoon butter-flavored shortening
•

½ teaspoon salt
•

1 teaspoon white sugar
•

2 ⅓ cups bread flour
•

1 teaspoon yeast
•

1 tablespoon olive oil

•

1 tablespoon butter
•

½ medium onion, chopped
•

½ teaspoon salt

1 ½ cups frozen chopped spinach - thawed, drained, and squeezed dry

Instructions

Place lukewarm water, shortening, salt, sugar, bread flour, and yeast in a bread machine in the order listed. Run Dough cycle. Remove dough from the machine at the kneading, 20 minutes.
Divide dough into 5 pieces and roll them into balls. Place on a floured surface, cover with a slightly damp cloth, and leave to rest for 20 to 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, melt oil and butter for filling in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add onion and salt and cook, stirring frequently, until onions soften, about 10 minutes. Add spinach and garlic and cook for another 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat.
Roll dough circles into flat rounds, 5 to 6 inches in diameter. Fill one half each circle with spinach mixture, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, then fold the other half over and seal the edges.
Preheat a griddle or large frying pan over medium-high heat. Brush one side of each gozleme with oil and place on the hot pan; cook until base is golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Brush top side with olive oil, turn, and cook until golden, another 2 to 3 minutes.
