Uzbek katlama with onion puff pastry flatbread

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 30 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   Let's prepare the ingredients for the flatbreads. The ingredients needed to make flatbreads are simple, and you can always find them in the house.

2. STEP 2

   

   Pour warm water into a bowl, add salt. Stir until the salt is completely dissolved.

3. STEP 3

   

   Add sifted wheat flour. Add flour in parts, stirring each time to make the dough elastic, dense, but not too tight. You may need a little more or less flour, since different manufacturers have different quality and density of flour.

4. STEP 4

   

   Roll the dough into a ball, place in a bowl and leave to rest on the counter for 20 minutes.

5. STEP 5

   

   Meanwhile, prepare the onions. You can use one large onion or two small ones, and if desired, increase the amount of filling. Peel the onions. Chop the onion finely with a knife so that large pieces of onion do not tear the dough.

6. STEP 6

   

   Divide the rested dough into six parts. Roll each into a layer no more than 0.2 centimeters thick. Brush the dough with melted butter.

7. STEP 7

   

   Sprinkle chopped onions on top.

8. STEP 8

   

   First, roll the dough with the filling into a roll. And then roll the roll into the shape of a snail. To make the flatbreads flaky, the pieces need to be wrapped in cling film and put in the refrigerator for a couple of hours so that the butter hardens. If there is no time to cool the cakes for such a long time, then they can be placed in the freezer for 20 minutes.

9. STEP 9

   

   Then roll out the “snails” with onions into thin flat cakes. Grease a frying pan with butter and heat it up.

10. STEP 10

    

    Fry the flatbreads in a dry frying pan for 3-4 minutes on each side until lightly browned.

11. STEP 11

    

    We place them on parchment (so that they do not get damp from the plate) and immediately grease them with melted butter. These cakes will be softer and have a distinct creamy taste. We serve the flatbreads to the table. Bon appetit!

Today I prepared Uzbek katloma with onions, a puff pastry flatbread, for my family. I kneaded the dough according to the recipe. I let it lie in cling film for about 20 minutes. Then I rolled it out, brushed it with melted butter in the microwave, and put some finely chopped onion on top. I rolled it into a roll, and then into a snail, put it in a bag and put it in the freezer for 20 minutes. I took the pieces out of the freezer. , rolled it out and fried it in a frying pan with butter. I fried one side covered until golden brown over low heat, and the other side without a lid. The layers in the dough were preserved as in puff pastry, the flatbreads themselves were beautiful and rosy. My family and I really liked them.
