Crispy Uzbek Katlama Flatbread

Crispy, flaky flatbread! It's incredibly tasty, and it couldn't be easier to make. Uzbek layered katlama is like a little sun on your plate — it warms you with the flavor of freshly baked bread, the rich aroma of butter, and all those paper-thin layers that make it shatter-crisp and almost weightless. Highly recommended!

    1. Dough. Dissolve the salt in cold water. Sift the flour (about 6 1/2 cups) into a large bowl, make a well in the center, pour in the water, and knead into a dough. It should be a touch softer than dumpling dough, but not too soft. Wrap the dough in plastic (or slip it into a bag) and let it rest for 30 minutes to 2 hours. 2. Shaping. Roll the dough out as thin as you possibly can. If you don't have a big work surface, divide it into pieces first. Slice the onion into very thin half-moons, toss with a little of the spices, and mix. Melt about 3 1/2 tablespoons (50 g) of the butter. Brush the rolled-out sheet of dough with a very thin layer of butter and scatter the onion over it. Roll the dough up into a tight log and cut it into small rounds (the whole batch should make about 10-12 flatbreads). Brush each round with oil, stand it on its cut edge, and press it flat. With a rolling pin, roll each round into a flatbread about 1/3 to 1/2 inch (7-12 mm) thick and 6 to 8 inches (15-20 cm) across. 3. Frying. Melt a couple of tablespoons of butter in a lightly heated skillet and fry the flatbreads on both sides until done. Keep the heat moderate — high enough to cook the dough and onion through, but not so high that the butter burns. Serve warm, alongside soup or a main dish. Enjoy!
