Cooking method

  1. Step 1:

    Step 1

    Pour 200 ml (about 3/4 cup) of kefir into a bowl (the fat content doesn't matter).

  2. Step 2:

    Step 2

    Then add 2 eggs.

  3. Step 3:

    Step 3

    Add 50 ml (about 3.5 tbsp) of vegetable oil.

  4. Step 4:

    Then add 1 teaspoon of salt.

  5. Step 5:

    Add 2 tablespoons of sugar.

  6. Step 6:

    Step 6

    Mix the ingredients together thoroughly.

  7. Step 7:

    Step 7

    Add 1 packet of baking powder (mine holds 18 grams).

  8. Step 8:

    Step 8

    Sift 500 g (about 4 cups) of wheat flour into the mixture. You may need a little more flour than the recipe calls for.

  9. Step 9:

    Step 9

    Knead the dough. Don't work in too much flour — the dough should stay soft and tender. Start by mixing with a whisk, and once the flour has absorbed most of the liquid, switch to kneading by hand. To keep the dough from sticking, oil your hands with a little vegetable oil.

  10. Step 10:

    Step 10

    Cover with plastic wrap and let the dough rest for 10 minutes.

  11. Step 11:

    Step 11

    Lightly flour your work surface and turn the dough out onto it. Divide the dough into several pieces (I got 8 flatbreads about 7 inches / 18 cm across).

  12. Step 12:

    Step 12

    Shape each piece of dough into a ball, then roll each one out into a flatbread about 1/4 inch (6 to 7 mm) thick.

  13. Step 13:

    Step 13

    Make a few small slashes in the center of each flatbread.

  14. Step 14:

    Step 14

    Fry the flatbreads in well-heated vegetable oil over medium heat.

  15. Step 15:

    Step 15

    Fry until golden brown on both sides. Take the finished flatbreads out of the pan and lay them on paper towels to absorb the excess oil.

  16. Step 16:

    Step 16

    Your fluffy kefir flatbreads are ready! Serve them cold or hot. Enjoy!
