Quick Stovetop Cheese Flatbread (No Yeast, Kefir-Based)

Basic recipe, but can be prepared in different ways. The same as making dough, but you need to cook it in a frying pan. When frying, add very little oil; if the coating of the pan allows it, you can do without it. The taste is cheesy, but you can add herbs and spices as you wish. They differ greatly from those prepared in the oven; such flatbreads are more like pancakes and not like baked goods, this must be taken into account so as not to be deceived in the expectation of taste. Itʼs quick and generally easy to prepare.

Step 7

Roll out the dough into a flat cake 0.5-0.6 cm thick. Distribute grated cheese evenly on top.

Wrap it in a tight roll, roll it a little on the table, evening out the thickness. Then cut into pieces 2 cm wide. Dip each piece cut side into flour /both sides/, flatten into a flat cake and roll out to the desired thickness, but not thinner than 0.5 cm. It turns out 15-17 pieces.

Step 10

Pour a little oil into a heated frying pan, heat it over medium heat and fry the flatbreads on both sides until golden brown. I didn’t cover it with a lid, they fry quickly enough, don’t move away.
