Cheese flatbreads on kefir
5 servings
60 minutes
Cheese flatbreads with kefir are a cozy combination of tender dough and rich cheese filling. This dish has European roots but its preparation resembles traditional Eastern techniques for working with dough. Kefir gives the flatbreads lightness and softness, while cheese, especially combined with cottage cheese and garlic, creates a rich flavor with spicy notes. They turn golden brown with a crispy crust while remaining soft inside. They can be served as a standalone dish or as an accompaniment to main courses. They are especially good hot when the filling remains tender and stretchy. Flatbreads are perfect for a cozy family dinner or quick home snacks.
