Ingredients
Lean beef mince, raw
350 g
Tomato paste
2 tbs
Olive oil
1 tbs
Dry yeast
7 g, (instant yeast)
Salt
1 tsp
Caster sugar
1 tsp
Brown onion
1 medium, finely chopped
Carrot(s)
1 small, finely chopped
Celery
1 stick(s), finely chopped
Garlic
2 clove(s), crushed
Canned diced tomatoes
400 g, (crushed)
Plain flour
2 cup(s), (300g)
Instructions
1
Combine yeast, salt, sugar and ¾ cup (185ml) lukewarm water in a jug. Cover and set aside for 10 minutes or until bubbles form on the surface.
2
Meanwhile, heat oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Add onion, carrot and celery and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes or until softened. Add garlic and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds.
3
Add mince and cook, breaking up any lumps, for 5 minutes or until browned. Add tomatoes and tomato paste and bring to the boil. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 10–15 minutes or until thickened. Cool completely.
4
Lightly spray a baking tray with oil. Sift flour into a bowl. Add yeast mixture and mix to form a soft dough. Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface. Knead for 5 minutes or until dough is smooth and elastic. Cut dough into 4 equal portions. Place on prepared tray. Cover and set aside in a warm place for 20 minutes or until dough doubles in size.
5
Roll each piece of dough on a lightly floured surface into a 30cm square. Spread one-quarter of mince mixture over half of each square. Fold to enclose filling. Press edges to seal.
6
Preheat a chargrill or barbecue over medium-high heat. Cook gozleme for 2 minutes each side or until browned and heated through. Cut into thirds to serve.
