Uzbek katlama with onion puff pastry cakes

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   Prepare the ingredients for the tortillas. The composition of the products necessary for making tortillas is simple, and there will always be such in the house.

2. Step 2:

   

   Pour warm water into a bowl, add salt. Stir until the salt is completely dissolved.

3. Step 3:

   

   Pour in the sifted wheat flour. Add the flour in parts, mixing the mass each time so that the dough turns out elastic, dense, but not too tight. Flour may need a little more or less, because different manufacturers have different quality and density of flour.

4. Step 4:

   

   Roll the dough into a ball, put it in a bowl and leave it on the table for 20 minutes to rest.

5. Step 5:

   

   Meanwhile, let's cook the onions. You can use one large onion or two small ones, and optionally increase the amount of filling. Onions are cleaned from the husk. Chop the onion finely with a knife so that large pieces of onion do not tear the dough.

6. Step 6:

   

   Divide the rested dough into six parts. Each one is rolled into a layer no more than 0.2 centimeters thick. Lubricate the dough with melted butter.

8. Step 7:

   

   Sprinkle chopped onions on top.

9. Step 8:

   

   First, roll the dough with the filling into a roll. And then we roll up the roll in the shape of a snail. In order for the tortillas to turn out layered, the blanks need to be wrapped in plastic wrap and put in the refrigerator for a couple of hours so that the butter hardens. If there is no time for such a long cooling of the tortillas, then they can be placed in the freezer for 20 minutes.

10. Step 9:

    

    Then roll out the "snails" with onions into thin cakes. Grease the frying pan with butter, heat it up.

11. Step 10:

    

    Fry the tortillas in a dry frying pan, for 3-4 minutes on each side, until a light blush.

12. Step 11:

    

    We spread them on parchment (so that they do not get wet from the plate) and immediately lubricate with melted butter. Such cakes will turn out to be softer and with a pronounced creamy taste. We serve the tortillas to the table. Bon appetit!
