Flatbread with sour cream in a frying pan

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 45 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to fry flatbreads with sour cream in a frying pan? To begin, prepare the necessary ingredients from the list. It is better to use sour cream that is not very watery, with a fat content of 20-25%. Use premium flour. Take a large choice egg. Melt the butter first and cool it.

2. STEP 2

   

   In a bowl, combine sour cream, egg, melted butter, sugar and salt. Mix everything with a whisk until smooth and until the sugar dissolves.

3. STEP 3

   

   Sift the flour with soda and add it into the dough in parts. Knead into a soft, slightly sticky dough. At first you can knead with a whisk, and then with your hands. The dough turns out very soft and pliable.

4. STEP 4

   

   Depending on the size of the egg, moisture content and fat content of the sour cream, more or less flour may be needed. But it is better not to stuff the dough with additional flour - the airiness of the finished products will disappear. You need to knead the dough until it begins to pull away from the sides of the bowl. I didn't need to add additional flour at all. It’s better to let the dough remain slightly sticky, then you can correct it when rolling.

5. STEP 5

   

   Gather the dough into a ball, cover with a towel and leave to rest for 30 minutes.

6. STEP 6

   

   Divide the dough into 10-12 equal pieces. My dough came out to 930 g, so I divided it into 10 pieces of 93 g each. I baked in a frying pan with a bottom diameter of 20 cm, if you have a frying pan with a smaller diameter, then the pieces should be smaller, and their number should be correspondingly larger.

7. STEP 7

   

   Roll out each piece on a floured table into a thin round cake with a diameter no larger than the diameter of the bottom of your frying pan.

8. STEP 8

   

   Fry the flatbreads in a heated frying pan (I use setting 7 out of 9) in vegetable oil on both sides until golden brown. They fry very quickly, literally 30-40 seconds on each side. Even faster than pancakes. In the process, they increase in volume and become airy.

9. STEP 9

   

   You can fry in a dry frying pan without oil, but such cakes practically do not rise, there are no air bubbles, they are denser. Try both options to see which one you like best. I liked it with butter. Stack the finished flatbreads on top of each other and serve. Bon appetit!

I sometimes cook flatbreads in different versions. They are good instead of bread and even for tea with jam.

I wanted to cook flatbreads with sour cream in a frying pan instead of bread, but it turned out to be an independent dish! I used full-fat homemade sour cream, the dough turned out very pleasant, soft, slightly “greasy” to the touch. Fry in a large amount of vegetable oil for about a minute on each side (in a cast iron frying pan). Wonderful recipe! The flatbreads turn out very tasty and filling. We came in with sweet tea, even without any jams, condensed milk and other toppings
