Flatbreads are an important flour product for most people, especially those living in the East. In the deserts, tortillas have been replacing bread for over 1000 years. The fact is that tortillas in Egypt, for example, were cooked directly in the sand. In the deserts, the sand is incredibly hot. Desert dwellers only need to knead the dough and put it under the sand. With the unique technology of dough preparation, it remains clean after baking in the sand.
Now this technique is rarely used. This is mainly how Egyptians entertain tourists. We will show a recipe for really delicious flatbread with cabbage, for the preparation of which you do not need to fly to the desert.
