Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 2 hr 30 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make lobiani with beans in Georgian style? Prepare the ingredients according to the list. For lobiani, you can take red or white beans, boiled. Or you can use canned. Rinse the beans, pour cold water in a bowl and leave overnight to swell. Wash the egg and dry with napkins. Also wash and dry the cilantro.

2. STEP 2

   

   Start by preparing the yeast dough. Pour warm kefir of low fat content into a bowl. Add dry yeast, stir until it dissolves. Add sugar, salt, beat in a chicken egg, stir the ingredients.

3. STEP 3

   

   Add sifted wheat flour in parts and knead into an elastic, smooth dough that slightly sticks to your hands. Keep in mind that you may need more or less flour than I did. Focus on the consistency of the dough.

4. STEP 4

   

   Transfer the dough into a bowl, cover the bowl with a towel on top and leave it alone in a warm place for an hour.

5. STEP 5

   

   Peel the onions, finely chop with a knife and fry in vegetable oil in a frying pan until golden.

6. STEP 6

   

   Meanwhile, drain the beans, rinse them again, add fresh water and boil until fully cooked over medium heat, about 30 minutes. Check readiness by taste; the beans should be soft and crumbly.

7. STEP 7

   

   Drain off the water, leaving a little of it at the bottom of the pan. Place fried onions in a saucepan with beans, add salt and ground black pepper to taste. Using a blender or masher, puree the beans and onions until pureed.

8. STEP 8

   

   Add finely chopped fresh cilantro, softened butter to the bean puree and stir. The filling is ready.

9. STEP 9

   

   Knead the risen dough and start making flat cakes. Divide the dough into several parts. Roll each into a thin round layer.

10. STEP 10

    

    Place the filling in the center of the flatbread and seal the edges in the center as shown in the photo.

11. STEP 11

    

    Carefully roll the resulting bun into a thin cake, being careful not to damage the dough.

12. STEP 12

    

    Fry the flatbreads in vegetable oil heated in a frying pan for 4-8 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Serve the lobiani warm. Bon appetit!

Very tasty baked goods, thanks for the recipe. But the Mexican version of the snack with beans is a burrito with chicken, beans, and corn.

For breakfast I prepared lobiani with Georgian beans. The beans used were white. I pre-soaked it overnight, then cooked it until tender. Kefir took a fat content of 2.5 percent, an egg of category C1. I used the same amount of flour as indicated in the recipe. The dough turned out soft, tender, and elastic. It is very convenient and pleasant to work with him. I divided the dough into four parts. I fried the flatbreads over medium heat for about 3 minutes on each side. The flatbreads turned out fluffy, soft, and rosy. The filling is very tasty and tender with a pleasant creamy aftertaste. The lobiani turned out to be quite filling. Personally, half a flatbread was enough to fill me up. Thank you very much for the recipe!
