Handmade Daily Gözleme with Potatoes – 1 Piece

This potato gözleme is a single handmade gözleme filled with seasoned potato, made fresh to order for Robin Food. It arrives cooked and ready to eat, packed in a bakery box so it keeps its shape, and needs only a minute or two of warming before you serve it.

What gözleme is

Gözleme is a thin Turkish flatbread made from hand rolled dough, folded around a filling and cooked on a hot griddle called a sac. The dough blisters and browns in patches, giving it a soft but slightly crisp skin. In Turkey you find it at village markets, motorway stops and beach cafés, where cooks often roll the dough by hand and cook it to order in front of customers.

The name comes from "göz", meaning eye, which some link to the brown spots that form on the dough during cooking. Whatever the origin, it is one of the most loved forms of Turkish street food, eaten at any time of day.

About this potato gözleme

According to Robin Food's product information, all gözleme varieties are made daily and to order, then sold cooked and ready to serve in a special pastry box. The potato filling is soft and lightly spiced, one of the most common fillings on gözleme menus in Turkey, next to cheese and spinach. Potato gives a soft, comforting centre that contrasts with the thin, chewy dough, and it is often the first choice for children and for anyone who prefers a meat free lunch.

Each gözleme is sold as a single piece, which makes it easy to order exactly as many as you need for the household.

Gözleme dough is made from wheat flour, so it contains gluten. For other allergens, ask us or check the label that comes with your order.

How to warm it

The product note says that one to three minutes of warming before serving is enough. You have two easy options:

1. In a pan: heat a dry frying pan over a medium heat and warm the gözleme for about a minute on each side, until the outside crisps up again.
2. In the oven: place it on a tray in a hot oven for a few minutes.

The pan is the closest you will get to the griddle at home, and it brings back the light crunch on the outside. A microwave works in a hurry but leaves the dough softer.

What to serve with it

• A glass of cold ayran, the classic partner.
• A simple salad of tomato, cucumber, onion and parsley with lemon.
• A pot of black tea if you are eating it for breakfast.
• Pickled peppers or a spoon of chilli sauce for heat.

Cut it into wedges with a sharp knife or kitchen scissors. One piece makes a good lunch for one person, or a shared snack for two with soup.

Fresh daily, made to order

Because each potato gözleme is made on the day for your order, it is best eaten soon after delivery. If you need to keep it, wrap it and store it in the fridge, then warm it in a pan the next day.
