How to Gozleme Cooking

What You Need to Know

The cooking process involves the Maillard reaction, a chemical reaction between amino acids and reducing sugars that occurs when food is cooked, resulting in the formation of new flavor compounds and browning of the pastry. The high heat and oil used in cooking gozleme can cause the pastry to become crispy and golden brown, while the filling remains soft and flavorful.
