Flatbread without filling in a frying pan

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 45 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   Prepare all the necessary ingredients for the scones. The egg should be at room temperature, so remove it from the refrigerator in advance. Heat the water to a temperature of 37-40°C. It should be warm, not hot. If you don’t have a cooking thermometer, you can easily determine the desired temperature manually: place a drop of water on the inside of your wrist. If the water is hot, the flour will cook and the dough will not be airy.

2. STEP 2

   

   Pour warm water into a bowl, break an egg into a bowl of water, pour in 1-2 tbsp. l. vegetable oil.

3. STEP 3

   

   Mix everything with a whisk until smooth. The surface will be covered with airy foam.

4. STEP 4

   

   Sift the flour with salt and add it in parts to the bowl with the egg mixture. Knead into a smooth, slightly sticky dough.

5. STEP 5

   

   At first you can knead the dough with a spoon, but as you add flour, the dough will become more and more elastic and you need to knead it with your hands. Remember that you may need less or more flour, you can read more about this in the article, the link to it is at the end of the recipe. The finished dough should be elastic, pliable and elastic.

6. STEP 6

   

   Gather the dough into a ball, cover with a napkin and leave to rest for 15-20 minutes.

7. STEP 7

   

   Divide the dough into 4 equal parts. Roll out each piece on a floured table into an even thin circle, not exceeding the diameter of the frying pan in which the cakes will be baked. Prick the tortilla with a fork. Before baking, brush off excess flour from the tortillas with a brush to prevent it from burning in the oil.

8. STEP 8

   

   Heat a little vegetable oil in a frying pan. Add the tortilla and fry for about 3 minutes until dark spots appear. Then turn the tortilla over to the other side and fry until done. Fry all the other tortillas too.!!! After frying the cake, a dark residue may remain at the bottom of the pan - this is burnt flour. It is better to drain it along with the oil and wipe the pan with a paper towel. Then there will be no black spots on the next cakes.

9. STEP 9

   

   Transfer the finished flatbreads to a plate and serve hot. They remain no less tasty and soft on the second day. Bon appetit!

Super! For taste and aroma, you can add chopped fresh dill to the dough.

Yes, a very simple, but very good recipe for delicious flatbreads. I prepared similar flatbreads, but I didn’t add any water. Thank you.

I think any housewife, regardless of experience, loves simple and quick cooking recipes. Sometimes you don’t have time or you just don’t want to fuss with dough for a long time, but you want something tasty for tea. So the moment came for me, there was nothing for tea. It's good that I found this wonderful recipe from Maria! Making flatbreads is a pleasure and quick at the same time. These flatbreads are neutral in taste and can be used instead of bread for first courses. They are soft, somewhat reminiscent of pita bread. But I needed something for tea) So I sprinkled them with sugar and it turned out to be a sweet treat) The whole family liked them! I also wanted to grease the flatbreads with sour cream, but I didn’t have time, next time we’ll definitely try it with sour cream. Thank you very much for the recipe!

I sometimes like to replace bread with other baked goods. For example, this time I made flatbreads without filling in a frying pan. Instead of water, I took milk and approximately doubled the amount of ingredients. I kneaded the dough, it turned out soft, pleasant and practically did not stick to my hands. I fried the flatbreads in a well-heated frying pan with the addition of a small amount of oil. My family couldn’t wait to cook them! It turned out delicious. I recommend the recipe!
