Flatbreads, presumably, were prepared by man earlier than the bread we are accustomed to. The fact that it is faster to make a flatbread and does not require a lot of additional ingredients
probably justifies the fact that flatbread exists in many cuisines of the world. This dough product is found in both Asian, Mediterranean and Latin American gastronomic culture.
In our country, flatbreads became famous thanks to the inhabitants of the Caucasus
.
All national dishes in the Caucasus are prepared mainly with the use of
flatbread. It is worth preparing this product from a simple dough yourself.
Ingredients for flatbread:
- Flour – 300 g;
- semolina – 150 g;
- Leavening agent – tsp;
- Water – 300 ml;
- Sugar – tbsp;
- Salt – tbsp;
- Butter – 150 g.
Preparation of tortillas:
Pour semolina and baking powder into the flour, mix the components in a deep bowl. In a separate bowl with water, combine sugar and salt.
In a bowl with flour make a depression, pour in the baking soda with dissolved salt and sugar. Knead the dough first with a spatula and then by hand. It is necessary to achieve an elastic and not sticky lump of dough. The
dough should be divided into 4
lumps
, which need to be greased with oil. Leave the dough under cellophane for an hour in the warmth.
Next, knead the dough into thin round tortillas with your hands, smear with butter
, roll the thin layer with the edges inward, twist into a roll and crumple.
Again roll the dough into tortillas, but thicker, equal to the diameter of the frying pan. Fry these flatbreads in a frying pan on both sides until golden.
The tortillas should be fried in a frying pan without adding vegetable oil. This is an excellent substitute for store-bought bread, which can be combined with vegetables and meat.
