Uzbek flatbreads in the oven without yeast

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to bake Uzbek flatbreads in the oven without yeast at home? Prepare the necessary ingredients. Melt the butter in a water bath or in the microwave and cool. Turn on the oven in advance at 230 degrees. Sift the wheat flour into a deep bowl. Thanks to sifting, the finished cakes will be more tender. Add baking powder and salt to the flour and mix everything.

2. STEP 2

   

   Make a well in the middle and pour in the milk. Pour in the melted butter. In the homeland of these flatbreads, lamb fat was used to prepare the dough in the classic recipe. In our conditions, this product cannot always be found, and not everyone wants to try baked goods with the specific flavor characteristic of lamb fat, so you can limit yourself to butter.

3. STEP 3

   

   Knead the dough. It should turn out smooth, elastic and obedient, similar in appearance to yeast. Cover the dough with a napkin and leave to rest on the table for 15 minutes.

4. STEP 4

   

   Then divide the dough into several parts depending on the desired size and number of cakes. Knead each piece of dough again and form it into a ball or thick cake and leave for another 15 minutes.

5. STEP 5

   

   Roll each piece into flat cakes of equal size. They should be thin in the middle and thick around the edges. You can try to decorate the flatbreads as they do in Uzbekistan using a special device called chekich. If you don’t have such a device at hand, you can make several pricks in the center with a fork so that the cakes do not begin to swell during baking.

6. STEP 6

   

   Place the flatbreads on a greased baking sheet, brush them with a mixture of milk and beaten chicken egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Place the cakes in an oven preheated to 230 degrees and bake for about 15 minutes. Take out the finished tortillas, sprinkle them with water, cover with a towel and leave on the table for 10 minutes.

7. STEP 7

   

   Serve the flatbreads with soup, main course, or simply with tea. Bon appetit!

I really love various flatbreads, which can be an alternative to bread. This time I prepared Uzbek flatbreads in the oven without yeast. I kneaded the dough from the amount of ingredients indicated in the recipe. I let it stand. The dough turned out to be soft, elastic, very pleasant to work with. In total, we got seven wonderful, yeast-free, golden-brown flatbreads. Of course I will make them again. Thanks for the recipe!
