  1. 1

    Place flour, 1/3 cup of the oil and a pinch of salt in a large bowl and stir in 2/3 cup water to make a soft sticky dough.

  2. 2

    Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and shape the dough into a ball and then divide dough into 4 equal portions.

  3. 3

    For each gozleme, use a floured rolling pin to roll dough out to a 20cm round and then place 2 slices mozzarella on half the dough and top with 1 tablespoon basil.

  4. 4

    Fold the dough over to enclose filling and form a semi circle, pressing edges to seal. Repeat to make other 3.

  5. 5

    Drain on paper towels. Combine tomato, onion and extra shredded basil in a medium bowl and stir in remaining oil and season with salt and pepper.

  6. 6

    Serve gozleme with tomato salad and lemon wedges.
