   Heat the milk to about 40 degrees, add dry yeast and a pinch of sugar, add 2-3 tbsp. sunflower oil, sprinkle with flour and place in a warm place for half an hour. When the yeast has dispersed, pour it into a large bowl, add sugar, salt, egg, matsoni, add almost all the flour and stir the dough.

2. STEP 2

   

   Coat the lump of dough with sunflower oil poured into your palm. Gradually add the rest of the flour and butter. The dough should become soft and elastic. Knead the dough for 20 minutes until it is completely smooth.

3. STEP 3

   

   Then grease a large bowl with sunflower oil and place the dough rolled into a ball. Place the bowl in a warm place for an hour. After an hour, knead the dough.

4. STEP 4

   

   And put it again in a warm place for 1.5 hours. The dough will rise approximately 3 times.

   Let's start preparing the filling, for which we take 1 kg of suluguni, grate the cheese on a coarse grater, add 50 g of softened butter and 2 eggs. Mix the filling with your hand and roll into 5 balls.

6. STEP 6

   

   Divide the dough according to the number of cakes (in this case, into 5 parts) and roll each part into a ball. Cover the rolled balls with a towel and wait 10 minutes for them to rest and rise.

7. STEP 7

   

   Roll each ball into a round cake and distribute the filling.

8. STEP 8

   

   We connect the free edges into a bag and pinch it well.

9. STEP 9

   

   Turn the cake over and roll it out with a rolling pin to a thickness of 1 cm. Pierce the cake with a fork in several places and pick out a hole in the middle.

10. STEP 10

    

    Transfer the cake to a baking sheet or mold greased with sunflower oil. Beat the egg and one spoon of sour cream and grease the flatbread with it. Let's wait another half hour. Bake at 200°C for 20 minutes.

11. STEP 11

    

    So that the cheese sets a little and does not leak out when slicing, wait 10 minutes until the flatbreads cool. After this you can serve.
