What You Need to Know
Gozleme making involves hydration of gluten in dough, Maillard reaction, and fermentation of yeast, requiring a balance of gluten development, hydration, and fermentation to produce a tender and flaky crust. The process involves rolling out the dough, filling it with ingredients, and cooking it on a griddle or in a pan.
