Flatbread with cheese in a frying pan on kefir

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr 10 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make flatbreads with cheese on kefir? Measure out the required ingredients. Take out the kefir in advance so that it is at room temperature.

2. STEP 2

   

   Sift the flour into a wide bowl to enrich it with oxygen. The cakes will be softer and the dough more homogeneous.

3. STEP 3

   

   Combine flour with soda. Mix well so that the dry ingredients are evenly distributed among themselves.

4. STEP 4

   

   In a large container, mix kefir with salt.

5. STEP 5

   

   Add about 3/4 of the sifted flour and mix with a spoon.

6. STEP 6

   

   The dough is still too viscous and sticky.

7. STEP 7

   

   Add flour in small portions while mixing the dough with your hands. You may need more or less flour from the specified amount. It depends on the properties and quality of the flour. Therefore, when kneading, focus on the consistency of the dough.

8. STEP 8

   

   The dough turns out homogeneous, smooth, soft. It shouldn't be too tight, but should hold its shape. Wrap the dough in cling film or cover with a towel and leave on the counter for 30 minutes. During this time, the gluten in the flour will disperse, and the dough will become more elastic and pliable.

9. STEP 9

   

   Meanwhile, prepare the filling. Any pickled cheese (brynza, feta) or hard cheese is suitable for it. You can use any greens or make them without.

10. STEP 10

    

    Grate the cheese on a coarse grater. You can take several types of cheese or limit yourself to just one.

11. STEP 11

    

    Wash the greens, dry them, remove thick, rough stems. Finely chop the greens.

12. STEP 12

    

    Combine grated cheese and herbs, mix well.

13. STEP 13

    

    Roll the rested dough into a sausage. Divide the dough into equal parts, the number of which depends on the desired size of the cakes.

14. STEP 14

    

    Form balls from the cheese filling according to the number of pieces of dough.

15. STEP 15

    

    Roll out each piece of dough on a floured surface into a round cake.

16. STEP 16

    

    Place the cheese filling in the center of the tortilla.

17. STEP 17

    

    Gather the edges of the dough over the filling and seal well.

18. STEP 18

    

    Lightly press the dough with the filling with your palm and carefully, so that the dough does not tear, roll it into a round cake. Choose the thickness of the cake as desired. Form all the cakes in this way.

19. STEP 19

    

    The flatbreads are cooked in a dry frying pan. Heat a frying pan and fry the flatbread over medium heat on one side until golden brown, about 2 minutes.

20. STEP 20

    

    Flip the tortilla over and fry the other side until golden brown. The flatbreads fry quickly, so it’s convenient to make all the flatbreads at once and then fry. Based on the time, follow your stove.

21. STEP 21

    

    Place the finished tortillas in a pile on top of each other to keep them warm longer. Immediately after cooking, brush the top of each flatbread with butter.

22. STEP 22

    

    Serve the flatbreads warm. They're good cold too. And heated in the microwave, they will be as soft and tasty as if they came from a frying pan. Bon appetit!

Flatbread with cheese in a frying pan with kefir is perfect for both breakfast and snacking. They are also very convenient to take to work. I came across this recipe when I was looking for something to cook for my husband to take to work. I needed something that I could eat without hassle while driving. Most often I make hot sandwiches, but I wanted something new for a change. The dough is kneaded quickly, literally 5-7 minutes. I used kefir with a fat content of 3.2%. I needed two handfuls more flour. I had one type of cheese - Dutch. I only used dill from the greens. The dough turns out soft, tender, it rolls out well and does not tear. From it I got nine flat cakes with an average diameter of eight centimeters. The flatbreads turned out tasty, soft, and were well baked inside. It took two minutes per side to fry, just like the recipe says. Thank you very much for the wonderful recipe! Now I will cook these flatbreads for my husband at work and just for breakfast. I think it will be possible to experiment with the filling. I highly recommend it for cooking!
