Cheese cakes with kefir in a frying pan

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr 20 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to fry cheese cakes with kefir in a frying pan? Prepare the necessary ingredients. You can take kefir of any fat content, it should be at room temperature. Any hard or semi-hard cheese will do. You can vary the proportions of Adyghe and hard cheese as desired. Take premium flour, it will make the dough softer. Wash and dry the greens.

2. STEP 2

   

   Sift the wheat flour into a separate wide container. This will saturate it with oxygen and make the baked goods more airy.

3. STEP 3

   

   In a stable, deep bowl, mix kefir and soda. Leave for 5-10 minutes for the soda to extinguish. Noticeable bubbles will appear on the surface of the kefir.

4. STEP 4

   

   Grate the hard cheese on a medium or fine grater.

5. STEP 5

   

   Add salt, sugar and half the grated cheese to the kefir and mix.

6. STEP 6

   

   Pour most of the sifted flour into the cheese mixture, stir the dough with a spoon.

7. STEP 7

   

   The dough turns out very sticky and viscous.

8. STEP 8

   

   Add the rest of the flour in parts, stirring the dough each time. Now knead the dough with your hands, controlling its consistency. Please note that you may need more or less flour than I did. Focus on the consistency of the dough.

9. STEP 9

   

   The dough should be very soft, tender, elastic, slightly sticky to your hands. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour. But you shouldn’t add a lot of flour so that the dough isn’t too tough. Otherwise, the cakes will turn out to be hard. Cover the dough to prevent it from drying out and leave to rest for 30 minutes.

10. STEP 10

    

    Grate the Adyghe cheese on a medium grater or crumble it with your hands.

11. STEP 11

    

    Finely chop the washed dill. You can also take parsley, cilantro or basil. Greens will give the flatbreads a spicy taste and aroma.

12. STEP 12

    

    In a convenient-sized bowl, combine the Adyghe cheese, the remaining hard cheese, and chopped dill. Mix everything well.

13. STEP 13

    

    Sprinkle the table with flour, divide the dough into equal parts of the desired size - according to the number of future flat cakes.

14. STEP 14

    

    Roll the filling into balls according to the number of pieces of dough. The cheese mass is easy to mold.

15. STEP 15

    

    Roll each piece of dough into a round cake.

16. STEP 16

    

    Place a ball of cheese filling in the middle of the flatbread.

17. STEP 17

    

    Lift the edges of the flatbread, gathering the dough around the filling, pinch well.

18. STEP 18

    

    Gently knead the resulting ball with your palm and roll it into a flat cake.

19. STEP 19

    

    Heat a little vegetable oil in a frying pan. Fry the flatbread over medium heat on one side until golden brown.

20. STEP 20

    

    Then turn over and fry on the other side. While the tortilla is frying, form the next tortilla, remembering to monitor the process in the pan.

21. STEP 21

    

    Place the finished cheese cakes in a heap on a plate to keep them warm longer. I got 8 cakes with a diameter of about 10 cm.

22. STEP 22

    

    Flatbreads can be served with tea or milk or as a first course as an alternative to bread. Bon appetit!

The dough for cheese cakes can be different. I like the recipe for yeast dough with water.

Cheese pastries are one of our favorites. And if it doesn’t take much time to make, then even better. Here is a recipe for cheese cakes with kefir in a frying pan that is perfect. In terms of flour ingredients, I only needed 10 grams more than indicated, but everything else, as they say, is strictly according to the list. Along with Adyghe cheese there was marble cheese. We have our own kefir, made with sourdough. I divided everything into 8 parts. Forming flatbreads is very simple, the dough is amazing, pliable and tender. At the same time, it was elastic and did not tear when rolling out already with the filling. The amount of filling, in my opinion, corresponds to the amount of dough. Great! It so happened that while the first cake was baking, I had already rolled out all the other seven, it’s all done so quickly! It’s great that you don’t need oil for frying, just a dry frying pan. Even during baking there was such a pleasant aroma! And of course the taste did not disappoint. Delicate, soft, beautiful flatbreads. Filling without excessive saltiness. Delicious! We ate with pleasure)) Thank you for such an easy recipe!
