When it comes to Turkish street food, few dishes are as beloved and comforting as Gözleme. Thin, crispy, and packed with flavorful fillings, Gözleme is more than just a snack—it’s a piece of culinary tradition passed down through generations.
What Is Gözleme?
Gözleme is a traditional Turkish flatbread, typically rolled out by hand, filled with various savory ingredients, then sealed and cooked on a sac—a domed griddle traditionally used in Turkish cooking. The result is a golden, slightly crispy parcel with a warm, comforting interior. Popular fillings include spinach and feta, minced meat, mushrooms, or Turkish cheeses and herbs.
What makes Gözleme stand out is its simplicity. The dough is typically made from just flour, water, and salt—no yeast—giving it a light, flaky texture that perfectly complements the rich fillings.
The Origins of Gözleme
The history of Gözleme dates back centuries, believed to have originated in the Anatolian region of Turkey. Traditionally prepared by Turkish women in rural villages, Gözleme was a staple of home cooking—often made fresh for family gatherings, festivals, or village celebrations.
Its name comes from the Turkish word “göz”, meaning “eye” or “compartment,” referencing the little pockets or “eyes” created by the fillings inside the dough.
Though once a humble village dish, Gözleme has risen to international fame, served at street food stalls, markets, and cafes around the world.
