Budget Busters - gozleme

[CreamPuff63]

no, I think they are like $5  from consultants? I just looked on the HO website, and surprise surprise these books are not listed for sale...(wondering if somehow its Tenina related???)  Look back on earlier posts in this topic and you will find the recipe link...

Oh they are cheaper than what I thought. Would of cost me more to print out the scanned pages
Lol

[Tasty]

CP - I have looked and there is a link to Tenina's one from her website. Is the one in the book different?

Dede - I thought they were cheaper than that.

Well as I never brought one I had no idea, I may or may not have a few other booklets as well.

This is a copy of Tasty's review of this recipe, thought it best to put it with the others

I have been wanting to make gozleme since trying some at a Moroccan restaurant we went to recently and loving it. I got the recipe from the budget busters cookbook thanks to a kind forum member and put it on the menu plan and got around to making it yesterday.

They were delicious!! The pastry is quite easy to make and roll. The thinner you can roll it the better and you don't get holes in it!! Very good to work with!!

Although the filling was good I would change it to the one I had in the restaurat - pumpkin, spinach, saffron and feta. It is best if the filling is thin as the cubed meat didn't quite go.

Oh and this restaurant also has a thermomix!!

This recipe makes a LOT of gozlemes so have leftovers and I want to see how they work out when not done straight away.

I think I would also adjust the filling quantities for future too.

The lemon squeezed on top is a nice touch and really brings it to life!

There are quite a few other changes I would make for the filling so if I work out a good recipe, I might post it on here.

Give it a go though and it makes for a great entree for guests.

Here is the final result:



Now I just need to find a recipe for duck pastries!!

Thanks JD! I forgot there was already a thread here on it. You are so efficient. It seems the photo is missing though . . . did it not work?

I was just going to pm you Tasty.  You can't merge topics in these reviews which is what I tried to do so I had to just copy what you wrote and no, the photo will not copy.  Can you pop it back in to your posting again please, it really shows what a gozleme is for those who don't know.

JD - it won't let me modify my posting so here is the photo of gozleme:

Tasty they look great!
I was wondering which recipie you used? Tenina's, budget buster recipe or the modifications mentioned on pg 1 of this post?  All recipies receive a mention within this post.
Looking forward to trying them, just also wondering (I get in trouble from hubby for too much wondering!) if the pastry/bread is almost like roti?

The budget busters book is $7

[Tasty]

Buggerb - I used the recipe from budget busters (as mentioned in my review)  I have only ever tried roti once and that was years ago but I think it is kinda similar.

Meagan - thanks for the price. I didn't think it cost much and will probably get it when I have my Varoma demo.

Budget Busters is my fav. TMX Official Book/ booklet.   Tenina uses her Naan recipe for the dough.  I have posted a Naan recipe and this is what I will use.

Can someone PM this recipe or tell me how much the book is?

Tasty, this booklet of recipes is only $7.

Hi, I have been making Farfallina's gozleme's recipe and it must be the difference in the flours between Europe and Australia but the dough is always too tight and i have to play with it... could you pls let me know the ratio of plain flour to water in the budget buster's gozleme's recipe. I don't want to to buy the book just for this. Much appreciated. thanks
