Tortillas with cheese in a frying pan

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   Prepare the ingredients according to the list. There are very few of them, which makes it possible to classify this pastry as budget. In a deep bowl, put sugar, salt, dry yeast. Despite the long shelf life of dry yeast and the convenience of their use, it is important to ensure that their shelf life has not expired, otherwise baking may not work.

2. Step 2:

   

   Pour a glass of warm water into a bowl (the water should be heated to about 36 degrees, in the absence of a special thermometer, the temperature can be checked with a clean finger, it should be comfortable). It is important not to overheat the water, otherwise the yeast will lose its properties necessary for lifting the dough.

3. Step 3:

   

   Mix thoroughly so that the loose ones dissolve, pour in vegetable oil. Mix the ingredients.

4. Step 4:

   

   Pour the sifted wheat flour in small parts. This step is very important for the preparation of a successful delicious dough, you do not need to miss it. When sifting flour, not only foreign impurities and objects are removed, but the flour itself is saturated with oxygen, which in turn makes the dough lush and rich.

5. Step 5:

   

   Knead the dough, first knead it in a bowl with a spoon. As the dough becomes thick and dense, we spread it on the work surface sprinkled with flour and continue kneading with our hands. The dough should be elastic, smooth and slightly sticky to the hands. We put the dough back into the bowl and put it in a warm place for half an hour, covering it with a towel or tightening it with cling film.

6. Step 6:

   

   A place near the radiator can act as a warm place in winter (but we can't put the bowl on the battery itself, otherwise the dough may boil and the yeast will die if overheated), in summer – in the oven at a temperature of 35 to 40 degrees. While the dough is standing, we will prepare the filling.

7. Step 7:

   

   Grate the hard cheese.

9. Step 8:

   

   Fresh greens are washed, dried and finely chopped with a knife. You can use only dill greens or a mixture of dill, parsley and cilantro, or do not add greens at all, but it gives a special taste to the tortillas. Mix the cheese with herbs, the filling is ready.

10. Step 9:

    

    Knead the dough that has come up and immediately proceed to the preparation of tortillas. Divide the dough into the desired number of pieces, you need to focus on the size of the frying pan on which the tortillas will be fried. I divided it by 6. From each ball of dough we roll out a thin cake.

11. Step 10:

    

    Put some cheese with herbs in the center of the tortilla.

12. Step 11:

    

    We fasten the edges of the dough to the center like a bag.

13. Step 12:

    

    Turn the cake over and roll it out again with a rolling pin, carefully so that the dough does not break.

14. Step 13:

    

    Heat a dry frying pan, put one tortilla on the pan, reduce the heat to medium and fry them for 3-4 minutes on each side, until a light blush. Remove the tortillas from the pan and immediately lubricate on both sides with a piece of butter. We serve it to the table. Bon appetit!
