Salty cakes on the water. Cakes on the water

Not all housewives love baking. That dough will not work, then the products of the “wrong system”, then flour all over the kitchen ... In general, a headache, not a pleasure. But there is such a pastry that any housewife can do - it cooks quickly, requires a minimum of ingredients, can be sweet, salty, lean, yeasty and will definitely appeal to everyone at home. These are pancakes in a pan. They can be quickly prepared when the bread runs out in the middle of the night or you really want something for tea if the guests arrive in 5 minutes and there is no time for delights, but you want to surprise. Simple tortillas are good to serve with the first course, and options with tricky fillings can be used as a full meal.

Preparing food and dishes

Probably, every country in the world has its own national dish like tortillas. These are khachapuri, shanezhki, tacos, tortilla, kystyby, chalpak, pita, matnakash, lavash, puri, patyr, katlama, matzo, focaccia… You will break your tongue! And that is not all! Regardless of which of the recipes below will appeal to you, remember one thing - half the success lies in the quality of the products.

1. The simplest cakes are made on water and flour with the addition of a certain amount of salt to taste. Therefore, it is clear that special attention should be paid to the choice of flour. Be sure to take the highest grade from a reputable manufacturer. The flour should be dry and absolutely white, then the cakes will be tasty, soft, appetizing.
2. Egg cakes are more ruddy and take on a slightly different taste. If you decide to add this ingredient, be sure to either reduce the amount of water or add flour so that the finished dough is well behind your hands.
3. Do not skimp on quality cheese or cottage cheese if you want to use them in a recipe. Do not take the so-called cheese and cottage cheese products for baking. The first does not melt and can be bitter, the second exfoliates and crumple.
4. Most recipes require frying in a dry frying pan, but some peoples fry their flatbreads in a large amount of oil. It can be melted butter or sunflower. But it is better to refuse margarine.

So, for the preparation of the most ordinary cakes you will need:

• fine sieve;
• one large bowl and one or two smaller ones;
• beaker;
• rolling pin;
• pan.

Before kneading the dough, prepare all the ingredients that you will use in the process:

• sift the flour to remove possible debris and “fluff” it;
• shake the egg;
• melt the butter;
• measure the required amount of liquid and bulk products;
• chop greens and vegetables.

Pay special attention to the pan. Ideally, it should be cast iron, or, in extreme cases, just thick-walled. It is precisely such dishes that will be able to give our cakes a maximum of accumulated heat and fry them quickly, evenly and with an appetizing crust. Looks like everything is ready? Let's get started!

How to cook cakes in a pan?

The process of preparing most cakes is extremely simple, since for all the peoples of the world this dish was mainly the food of the poor and workers - in general, those who are not up to frills.

1. Mix. Always knead the dough for cakes in a pan with your hands. To do this, pour some of the sifted flour into a large bowl, form a slide. Make a hole in the top with your fingers and pour water into it. Knead the dough by adding the right ingredients and constantly adding flour to the desired consistency (the dough should be tight, not sticky). Keep in mind that depending on the quality of the flour, its quantity will also fluctuate.
2. Rest. Give the finished dough the shape of a ball, cover it with a bowl on top and let it rest for half an hour. At this time, sprinkle a thin layer of flour on a large cutting board or directly on the work surface of the table and put the pan on the fire.
3. Rolling out. Transfer the rested dough to the table and cut with a knife into several parts (depending on the diameter of the pan, the amount and type of dough). Make a ball from each part, flour it and roll it with a rolling pin into a thick pancake. Many housewives make smaller cakes by simply kneading dough balls between their palms. They claim it tastes much better this way.
4. Frying. In most recipes, frying is carried out without oil, so we quickly make cakes in a pan, distribute the dough evenly and immediately on a hot surface. It takes from 30 seconds to a couple of minutes to fry on each side. Readiness indicator - dried edge, golden color and brownish "freckles" over the entire surface of the cake. If, after frying, there is a burn on the bottom of the dishes, then it must be removed so that the next portion does not taste bitter and does not burn.
5. Innings. Stack the finished tortillas one on top of the other, like pancakes for Shrovetide, and cover with a towel to keep them warm. Serve at the table instead of bread or sweets for tea, neat or with sauces and jams in small bowls.
6. Storage. Usually such yummy is scattered right at the table, but if there are too many cakes, they can be stored in the refrigerator for a couple of days. When they become hard, reheat them before serving in the microwave, dropping a little water on each.

Dough for cakes (options)

Such a dish can be prepared from a variety of types of dough:

• yeast or yeast-free;
• on water, kefir, sour cream, yogurt, whey;
• custard or mineral water;
• lean or sweet.

It all depends on the possibilities and preferences. Often there is half a glass of kefir or yogurt left in the refrigerator, which simply has nowhere to go. Cakes in this case are a great way out! The usual classic dough is kneaded with water and flour. Nothing will prevent you from mixing cheese or greens, flax or sesame seeds into it, adding sugar or, on the contrary, finely chopped garlic.

1. Tortillas in a pan (recipe for kefir)

This pancake recipe is good for those who love sandwiches. The neutral taste of the finished dish allows you to add a variety of toppings to it - from jam to salami.

For a glass of flour, you need 2/3 cup kefir, an egg, a little baking powder, salt. We will fry in a small amount of oil.

Drive the egg into a bowl with kefir, add salt, baking powder. Gradually introducing flour, knead an elastic, but not very tight dough and let it rest. At this time, grease the pan with oil and heat it up. We make the cakes relatively thin, but not to the state of sheet pita bread, and fry each side for a couple of minutes.

2. Tortillas in a pan with cheese

Such cakes are probably the most famous and popular. This is a traditional Georgian dish called khachapuri (difficult to read without an accent, right?) There are many options on how to cook delicious khachapuri. Let's take a classic.

Make a brew in water with yeast and sugar. When it is ready, add salt and egg, stir in the flour. At the very end of the kneading, add oil (up to 2 tablespoons), and leave the dough for an hour - let it work. At this time, prepare the filling: grate suluguni or another cheese similar in taste, add a couple of eggs and melted butter.

Khachapuri is folded in different ways. You can pinch them like pasties, or you can use an envelope. Traditionally, they are made in the form of cheesecakes, putting the cheese in the middle of the cake and closing it with the edges. Fry in oil for a couple of minutes, first laying the stuffing down.

3. Cheese cakes on kefir in a pan

Cheese can be added not only to the filling, but also to the dough. This is a great breakfast idea! It is good to add a slice of ham to the filling of such a cake.

To prepare, take:

• incomplete glass of kefir;
• cheese and ham 200 grams;
• sunflower oil;
• salt, sugar and black pepper to taste.

We knead these cakes on kefir with the addition of baking powder. Stir in the finely grated cheese into the dough. Well, if it is spicy, not bland. For the filling, finely chop the ham.

We form large “dumplings” with ham filling and send them to a frying pan with sizzling butter. Fry both sides of the tortillas for 4-5 minutes.

In principle, cheese can not be mixed into the dough, but mixed with ham and added as a filling. You can make such cakes without filling, simply by introducing the cheese into the dough.

4. Tatar cakes

In Tatarstan, of course, they could not do without flat cakes either. Here they are called yuka and there are no special secrets in its preparation. Nevertheless, this is a great option when you really want baked goods in the winter cold, but you don’t want to go to the store.

For one and a half glasses of flour, take 100 ml of melted butter and milk, an egg, half a spoon of salt and twice as much sugar.

Crack an egg into a bowl and stir, add milk and butter to it. Salt, sweeten. Knead the dough and traditionally set it aside to rest. Yuka is fried without oil for up to 2 minutes on one side and the other.

5. Potato cakes in a pan

And this recipe also came from Tatarstan and has been tested by more than one generation. These are ordinary Tatar yuki cakes stuffed with mashed potatoes. At home, they received the name kystyby.

Fry yuki according to the above recipe, but prepare the filling in advance:

• boil potatoes with garlic and bay leaf;
• sauté finely chopped onion in oil;
• prepare mashed potatoes with warm milk and onions (it should be large enough to spread).

Brush half of the cooked yuca with potatoes and cover with the other half. Kystyby is ready!

6. Unleavened cakes in a pan instead of bread

But such bread in India is called puri. Let's try to cook them at home, since no tricky ingredients are required for this dish.

In addition to water and flour, for puri you will need:

• a tablespoon of butter (butter, melted);
• a glass of vegetable oil.

We heat the water, salt, and only after that we begin to knead the dough. We introduce pre-melted butter closer to the end of the batch.

We heat the vegetable oil and fry thin puri in it, as in deep fat. We spread the finished crispy rounds before serving on a paper towel or napkin so that excess fat remains on it, and not in our stomach.

7. Lenten pan cakes (no eggs)

And such cakes will be an excellent way out for those who observe fasting. Take a glass of mineral water and one and a half to two glasses of flour. Prepare the dough by adding sugar, sunflower oil and salt. Grease the pan with oil and fry the prepared cakes. It is good to add lean fillings to them: mushrooms, onions, potatoes, cabbage, jams.

8. On milk without yeast

Here's a great example of how you don't have to invent something to be delicious. It is enough to take 1.5 cups of milk, a couple of tablespoons of sour cream and butter, an egg and salt. Knead the dough - it will be soft and very obedient, form cakes and fry in oil. Make them thin or thick. Add sugar if you like.

9. Tortillas in a pan with herbs

Such cakes are good both instead of bread and as a snack.

In addition to water and flour, take:

• egg;
• greens (except dill and parsley, green onions, spinach are good);
• spices as desired.

Wash greens and shake off excess water. You can grind it just with a knife, and in a blender. In the first case, pieces of greenery will be visible to the naked eye, in the second, the dough itself will become a beautiful green color. Mix the egg and greens into the dough, then fry the cakes in the usual way.

You can diversify such a dish by preparing a filling of boiled eggs, chopped herbs and salted cottage cheese. In this case, put cottage cheese with herbs on each classic flat cake and close with a free edge (like a cheburek). Roast the same.

10. Cakes in a pan of flour and water

Only Jews could come up with such an extremely economical dish. Flour and water are the basis of a concise recipe for the Jewish matzah dish. We mix a glass of flour with 100 ml of water, roll out thin rounds from the resulting dough, prick them with a fork over the entire area and fry until golden brown and brittle.

11. Corn flour tortillas

However, poor Mexicans also prepared their authentic tortillas without the addition of exotic ingredients. Only the basis of their cakes is cornmeal. When you can get a real, special fine grinding (Masa Harina) - fine. If not, dilute with wheat and add some oil.

For 2 cups mass of charin, take a little more than a cup of hot water. Make the dough, let it brew and fry the tortillas in a pan without oil.

12. Indian flatbread

Why, in India, too, they did not particularly stand on ceremony with the preparation of cakes. Here they are called chapatis and are made from ordinary wheat flour, but preferably coarsely ground. The secret is that when frying, they inflate as if they are about to burst, and if you open them, you can put any filling into the resulting “pocket”!

For two glasses of flour, take a pinch of salt and 100 ml of boiling water. Knead the dough well, and let it ripen for a couple of hours (you can even leave it overnight). Roll out the dough rounds for chapati to a thickness of half a centimeter and fry without oil on both sides.

13. Oatmeal in a pan

And this is a recipe for losing weight. Something similar is cooked in Scotland for breakfast, but preferably in the oven.

Take oatmeal, grind them in a coffee grinder, but not into dust. For a pound of such flour, add a couple of tablespoons of wheat (it contains gluten, due to which the cakes will not “spread”). Knead the dough in boiling water with a little oil. Make kruglyashi not too thin and fry in a frying pan, greased.

14. Rye cakes

And here is another version of spicy bread for vegetarians, losing weight and just wanting to diversify their diet. For a glass of rye flour, you will need half as much water, 2 tablespoons of oil, salt, paprika, your favorite herbs and green onions. Mix all the ingredients and make thin rye pancakes from the finished dough.

Be careful, the dough is not as tight as with wheat flour, and the finished cakes are crispy and more crumbly.

15. Rice cakes

Fans of a healthy diet will also go to the piggy bank with rice flour cakes (preferably coarse grinding). They are called tirimgubi and cooked in the classic way - in boiling water with the addition of eggs and butter.

Tirimgubi can be eaten plain as bread, but try making a sauce for them with greens, yogurt, and finely chopped pickled vegetables.

16. Cottage cheese cakes in a pan

In Dagestan, such cakes are called a miracle with cottage cheese. The dough for them is kneaded without frills - on water and flour, and for the filling you will need:

• cottage cheese;
• egg;
• butter.

After rolling, proceed to the preparation of the filling. To do this, fry finely chopped onion with salt in butter. Then add the egg and prepared onion to the cottage cheese. Put the filler on the cakes and close.

Such a miracle is fried in butter until tender. Ready and ruddy, they are smeared with sour cream and put in a bag so that they become soft - ready!

17. With cheese in a pan

A great option for a quick snack on a day off, while borscht boils and meat is stewed for a family dinner.

Take:

• half a kilo of flour and cheese;
• a glass of kefir and baking powder;
• 2 eggs;
• vegetable and butter oils.

Beat the egg into a bowl with kefir, add butter and baking powder. Knead while adding flour. When the dough is resting, grate the cheese on a grater, add the egg and butter. Spread the filling in the middle of the dough round, pinching its edges on top, as in khinkali. Such cakes are baked for several minutes on both sides.

18. Onion cakes

They are made in Uzbekistan. Cheap and cheerful, but nonetheless not trite. In addition to water and flour, take a couple of onions, oil (preferably sunflower), salt-sugar-herbs and a small spoonful of yeast.

Make yeast dough in the usual way and leave to reach. Finely chop the onion and herbs and fold into the batter when ready. Fry onion cakes in a small amount of oil until browned.

19. Tortillas with meat in a pan

In principle, many peoples make their cakes with meat. But let's focus on Arabic cuisine and their chic minced meat dish called lahmacun.

Dough: make a hole in a hill of flour, pour in the yeast with sugar and pour some of the water, mix without interfering with the flour. After a quarter of an hour, knead the dough, adding salt, adding the remaining water and olive oil. Set the dough aside for an hour to rise.

Filling: greens, spices, tomatoes or pasta, grind bell pepper in a blender and add minced meat. Salt, pepper, add a little oil.

Put thin cakes in a pan, grease with minced meat on top and fry under the lid for up to 10 minutes. Chop fresh herbs and sprinkle over lahmacun before serving.

Well, it's not surprising that ordinary cakes were made sweet in all countries of the world. In India it is roti, and among Jews it is almoishavena. We have just a sweet cake for tea.

For a glass of flour, take a chicken egg, 2 tablespoons of sugar and the same amount of butter, a pinch of salt, vanilla and cinnamon, baking powder.

Knead the dough and cut it into pieces, roll each of which into the thinnest translucent pancake. Grind pancakes with sugar and roll into tight rolls. Twist a “snail” from each roll, and then roll it out again into a thin cake, which you will fry.

Ready-made cakes are sweet, crispy, slightly puffy. Sprinkle them with cinnamon before serving.

21. Honey cake

Another option for cakes, from which you can’t drag children by the ears, and adults too.

For a couple of glasses of flour, take:

• half a glass of milk (you can water);
• honey 3-4 tablespoons;
• 1-2 eggs;
• half a spoonful of soda and salt;
• two tablespoons of oil;
• sesame and poppy.

Mix all the ingredients except for the last two. We take half of the honey. We fry sweet honey rounds in butter, put them on a dish, pour over the remaining honey and sprinkle with sesame seeds and poppy seeds.

22. Mexican tortilla

These are traditional Mexican flatbreads, the recipe of which was allegedly borrowed from the Aztecs. At home, they are preferably prepared from corn flour, but in our conditions, wheat flour is also quite suitable. It gets an interesting taste from ready-made tortillas made from a mixture of wheat flour and corn.

Kneading the dough in the classic way, take 50 grams of butter and grind it with flour. Enter the resulting mass into the dough and add a little nutmeg for a piquant taste.

Rolled tortilla pancakes should be thin - only 1-2 mm. Fry them for no more than a minute on one side and the other.

23. Tacos

Eating bread with all sorts of fillings is not our tradition at all, but, so to speak, a world one. Shawarma, lahmanjun and even pizza are classic examples of such dishes in different countries. In Mexico, it's tacos. These are envelopes of ordinary tortillas prepared according to the recipe above, with juicy toppings and sauces.

For a classic filling, take minced meat, tomatoes, tomato paste, garlic, bell peppers, herbs, olives. Simmer all ingredients. Tortillas, while they have not cooled yet, fold in half, then put the filling in them, sprinkle with herbs, add lettuce. Our tacos are ready.

The filling can be vegetables, beans, seafood, only shrimp, and so on.

24. Uzbek bread

Flatbread in Uzbek is called patyr. It has a characteristic shape and is baked in the homeland only in the tandoor. They are often found in ethnic restaurants, where they are served fluffy and large (about the size of a soup bowl), with a flattened center and higher rims. At home, patyr can be made in a high cast-iron skillet or in the oven.

For a pound of flour, take a glass of milk instead of water, 25 grams of yeast, 50 ml of butter, a little sugar and salt.

Prepare the dough by diluting the yeast with sugar in warm milk. While the sourdough is fermenting, add salt and butter to the flour. Knead the dough and remove to reach for an hour and a half. Cut the finished dough, roll out cakes from each portion, in the middle of which make a recess with your fingers and prick it with a fork. Lubricate the dough with oil and put in the oven for a quarter of an hour or a little more.

Patyr cakes are well fried in a high cast-iron frying pan or in a slow cooker. When hot, it is best to put them in a bag or cover with a towel - for softness.

25. Cakes in the oven

1. From unsweetened in the oven, it is best to bake Uzbek cakes. Cook them according to the recipe described above, sending them to bake for ¼ hours at a temperature of 220-250 ºС.
2. Good in the oven and Finnish potato cakes. Prepare a dough of salted mashed potatoes with egg and flour. Shape into patties, brush with oil and place on a baking sheet. Sprinkle with herbes de Provence and sesame seeds, prick with a fork and bake until tender. Serve with sour cream, mushrooms, cottage cheese creams with spices. Overeating!
3. An excellent option for a sweet cake in the oven, the previously mentioned almoishavena. For 100 grams of flour, take the same amount of sugar and almost the same amount of butter, a couple of eggs, cinnamon. Heat water in a deep bowl, add ghee, add salt. After boiling, gently, but quickly, pour in the flour, kneading the dough. Cool slightly, add eggs. Evenly distribute the finished dough on a baking sheet covered with parchment, sprinkle with cinnamon sugar and put in the oven for ¾ hours at 180º C. Tear or cut the finished almoishavena and serve with tea.

You can come up with a lot of various recipes for cakes, but even the usual lean one is a great substitute for bread, and with a piece of cheese on top it’s a full breakfast, and spread with jam is already a dessert. Indeed, this is a universal and simple dish that can be different every time and will appeal to all family members.

Option 1: Classic recipe for cakes on the water

Now thin bread is often prepared with the addition of eggs and yeast. But once they were made only from flour and water. That is exactly what we will do today. True, in addition to lenten serving, we will offer different options for cakes on the water.

Ingredients:

• 495 grams of flour;
• a glass of filtered water;
• a pinch of fine salt;
• a third of a teaspoon of soda;
• a pinch of citric acid;
• frying oil.

Step by step recipe for cakes on the water

Sift flour (wheat, premium) into a wide bowl. Before it is better to wipe dry with paper towels.

Now add the planned amount of citric acid, fine salt and baking soda on top. Mix dry ingredients with a spoon.

Make a relatively large indentation with the same spoon. Thinly pour cool filtered water. Start kneading.

Having received a mass that does not stick to your hands, form a ball with your palms. Wrap (tightly) with cling film. Leave for about 30-32 minutes in the refrigerator.

When the set time expires, ignite a wide frying pan with a thick bottom. Pour in the oil (a spoonful is enough).

In parallel, divide the infused dough into 10-12 pieces. Thickness - 1-1.5 cm. On a table covered with flour, roll out the same cakes on the water.

Fry under a closed (not tightly) lid in a frying pan for 1-2 minutes. Flip. Continue the same.

Since we do not use eggs and yeast, the cakes will turn out a little harsh. Therefore, it is important to stack them in a pile, covering the dish with a film. After cooling completely, thin bread will remain soft.

Option 2: A quick recipe for water cakes

Ingredients:

• salt / soda / citric acid in the dough;
• a full glass of water;
• three and a half glasses of flour;
• vegetable oil on a baking sheet.

How to quickly cook cakes on the water

Pour soda, sifted flour, salt and citric acid into a bowl. Mix. Form a funnel in the middle.

Immediately pour chilled water. Knead in a food processor or a mixer with a hook attachment into a non-sticky soft dough.

Roll out a thick rope on the table. Cut the workpiece into 12 pieces. Roll out all the cakes at once (thickness - 1.5 cm).

Line a baking sheet with strong parchment paper. Lubricate with oil (vegetable). Spread the round bread at a certain distance from each other.

Bake cakes on water and flour for about 9-10 minutes, setting the temperature to 180 degrees. Then take out the pan and turn it over. Cook for another 5-6 minutes.

After turning off the stove, take out the bread and put it in a bag. Let it cool down a bit. Serve warm for lunch. It is not recommended to store for a long time, as it quickly becomes stale. As for time. It may vary slightly, so keep an eye on the baking of the cakes.

Option 3: Mineral water cakes

In addition to ordinary water, it is permissible to use mineral water. In this case, the cakes will turn out more magnificent.

Ingredients:

• a full glass of mineral (cold) water;
• fine salt;
• a bag of baking powder;
• 491 grams of flour (sifted);
• refined oil.

How to cook

Mineral water put on the refrigerator shelf. After half an hour (approximately) mix salt, baking powder and wheat flour (it is important to sift it) in a dry container.

At the current stage, pour cold mineral water into the resulting mixture.

Sprinkle flour as needed, knead the dough with clean hands. As a result, it should become elastic, not sticky both to the table and to the hands.

Now transfer the dough, wrapped in cling film, to the refrigerator. Let him stand.

After a third of an hour, unfold the soft mass. Put on a table. Form a tourniquet. Cut it into equal pieces with a knife. There should be about 12 of them.

In turn, roll out round thin (up to 1.5 cm) blanks on a table powdered with flour.

Immediately fry the cakes in water and flour in a pan, which must be greased with a small amount of refined oil. Time - a minute and a half for each side.

For this option, it is permissible to use any mineral water with gases (both strongly and slightly carbonated). The only thing is that you can not take medicinal water, which can have an unexpected effect on the digestive system.

Option 4: Yeast cakes on water in a slow cooker

The next option will be prepared on the basis of lean yeast dough. But we suggest transferring the frying to the slow cooker. Such bread will be stored much longer than usual.

Ingredients:

• salt / sugar in the dough;
• 5 grams of yeast (high-speed);
• 205 grams of warm water;
• oil for frying in a bowl;
• 505 grams of flour.

Step by step recipe

Mix the salt, instant yeast and sugar in a wide bowl of a suitable size.

Pour in water brought in a saucepan to 36 degrees. Mix until the dry mixture of ingredients is completely dissolved.

Only then add the sifted flour of the highest grade. Knead a simple dough without dough. Roll out a "sausage", which should not stick to the palms.

Cut the workpiece using a wide knife into 12 pieces. Sprinkle each with flour. Now pour oil into a clean bowl (about a spoon). Install in a multicooker.

Start warming up the container in the "Frying" mode. After a minute, lay the first cake on the water and flour.

Cook with the lid closed for about one and a half to two minutes. Then turn the bread over and close the lid again. Bake a lot more.

At first, the cakes will rise a lot. But you shouldn't worry. Just stack them on a flat-bottomed dish and leave to cool partially. Within a short time they will settle, after which they can be served for lunch or dinner.

Option 5: Flatbreads on the water with herbs and black pepper

The composition of the cakes often includes different greens. This makes them incredibly delicious. Therefore, we could not ignore the following version of bread.

Ingredients:

• half a kilogram of flour;
• 215 grams of purified water;
• salt / black pepper in the dough;
• a sachet (11 g) of baking powder;
• half a bunch of washed dill;
• oil in a frying pan.

How to cook

Reconsider half a bunch of dill. Remove stems and wash. Shake off accumulated moisture. Grind right there. Sprinkle on paper towels to dry completely.

After forty minutes, mix salt, baking powder, black pepper and sifted wheat flour in a bowl.

Also add dry chopped dill. The next step is to introduce cold water. Knead the soft dough with your hands, adding flour in small batches.

Having received an elastic dough with herbs and pepper, leave it under the film in a cool place. The required time for infusion is half an hour.

In calcined vegetable oil, fry the cakes for a minute and a half in water and flour in a pan.

Having finished the process, leave the bread under the film for partial (to a warm state) cooling.

Option 6: Cheese cakes on the water in the oven

Cheese, along with herbs, is also often used in the preparation of thin cakes. This time we will take the hard variety.

Ingredients:

• 501 grams of wheat flour;
• 216 grams of water (cold);
• salt / baking powder in the dough;
• refined oil;
• 150 grams of cheese.

Step by step recipe

Mix the baking powder and fine salt with the necessarily sifted flour in a wide bowl. Also introduce finely grated cheese (half the volume). Make a big hole in the middle.

Add filtered water. Use a spatula and then knead the dough with your hands. Wrap the non-sticky mass in a film. Transfer to a refrigerator shelf.

When about 30 minutes have passed, unfold the dough and roll out with a tourniquet. Cut into 12 equal pieces.

Make, taking a rolling pin, cakes on the water without yeast with an approximate thickness of one and a half centimeters.

Lay out all the blanks on a greased parchment, which needs to be covered with a baking sheet with a flat bottom.

Now quickly grate (finely) the remaining cheese. Sprinkle them with all the cakes. Salt as desired.

Rearrange the blanks in the oven, calcined to 180 degrees. Bake oriental bread for 5-6 minutes, then switch to the fire from above. Cook until golden brown.

We use ordinary hard cheese in this recipe, like "Dutch" or "Russian". However, the recipe may contain suluguni, cheese or mozzarella. Only in this case, adjust the amount of salt, since the indicated cheeses already contain it.

Option 7: Spicy Egg Chili Flatbreads

To make the cakes even softer and keep a little longer, we recommend including fresh eggs in the recipe. But the highlight of this option will be hot chili and spicy garlic.

Ingredients:

• 4-5 grams of chili;
• glass of water;
• large chicken egg;
• 520 grams of flour;
• fine salt / ground pepper in the dough;
• baking powder in the dough;
• vegetable oil in a pan;
• three cloves of garlic.

How to cook

Peel the garlic and chili. Wash out. Grind both ingredients.

Now, in a large container, mix a large egg with cold water until smooth.

In another bowl, combine baking powder, wheat flour, salt and a little ground pepper. Immediately add chili and garlic.

Pour in a mixture of water and eggs. Knead the dough. This can be done in a combine or by hand. Wrap the finished mass using a film, and let it brew in the refrigerator.

Ignite refined oil. Fry the cakes in water in a pan for about a minute (if necessary, then one and a half). Flip. Continue the process, spending the same amount of time. Put in a stack. Serve warm.

Fresh chili, like garlic, can be replaced with dried ones. Just be careful with the dosage so that the cakes do not turn out too spicy. You can also add not one ground, but several types of pepper at once (paprika, white and allspice).

Option 8: Tortillas on the water with tomatoes in the oven

How else can you add lean cakes? Let's place small cherry tomatoes and dried basil on their surface. Get real Italian bread!

Ingredients:

• 12 cherry;
• dried basil;
• a glass of purified cool water;
• baking powder / fine salt in the dough;
• vegetable oil;
• 515 grams of flour (highest grade).

Step by step recipe

Sift the wheat flour into a dry, wide bowl. Pour some fine salt in there. Add baking powder.

Now thinly pour in purified water (preferably chilled). Gradually knead the dough with your hands.

Wrap the resulting mass with a film. Forget about the test for half an hour, during which it will infuse.

During this time, rinse the cherry. Soak each with paper towels. Cut into thirds using a very sharp knife.

Return the dough by unfolding. Share. Roll out 12 identical layers of a round shape. Thickness is about one and a half centimeters.

Spread all the blanks at once on a baking sheet with baking paper. Place three pieces of chopped cherry tomatoes on top. Sprinkle with dried basil.

Put the cakes on the water without yeast in the oven. It needs to be preheated to the required 180 degrees. Cook fragrant bread for 5-7 minutes.

Cherries may not always be at hand. Therefore, it is quite acceptable to replace them with small tomatoes (for example, it may be the "Cream" variety). You can also sprinkle the cakes with coarse sea salt if desired.

Option 9: Flatbreads on the water stuffed with ham

Although our tortillas are designed to be served with various dishes, like bread, no one bothers to make them as an independent snack. To do this, we simply stuff them with chopped ham in tomato dressing.

Ingredients:

• vegetable oil for frying;
• a glass of clean cold water;
• baking powder (sachet);
• salt in the dough;
• 205 grams of ham;
• 520 grams of flour;
• 49 grams of grilled tomato sauce.

How to cook

Knead soft unleavened dough from cold water, salt, wheat flour and baking powder. Leave on the refrigerator shelf wrapped in cling film.

When half an hour has passed, chop the ham cut into pieces in a stationary blender. Transfer the masses to a bowl. Add sauce "Grill".

Knead the filling until relatively homogeneous. Back to test. Knead, adding flour. Make a thick rope.

Cut the "sausage" into 12 pieces. Roll out the first one. Put a spoonful of ham filling. Raise the edges. Pinch in the middle and crimp the "tail".

As much as possible, roll out a second time. Repeat with all preparations.

In turn, in hot oil, fry the cakes in water in a pan until cooked. This will take about a minute for one of the parties.

Ham can be bought ready-made, which will greatly facilitate the whole process. However, you can cook the meat with your own hands. By the way, for these cakes it is permissible to use other types, for example, boiled pork.

Pancakes in a pan can be prepared for any occasion. They will go with tea, decorate any picnic, or simply become a pleasant alternative to baked goods.

The dough for cakes in a pan is prepared with kefir, milk, whey, sour cream, etc.. For the simplest recipe, plain water and flour are enough. Also, if desired, eggs, butter or vegetable oil, dry or fresh yeast are added to the cakes.

Flatbreads are good on their own, but with filling they become even tastier and more interesting.. It can be just chopped greens, sausages, hard cheese or feta cheese, cottage cheese, etc. From spices, you can take salt, black pepper and herbs.

Fry the cakes in vegetable or butter on both sides until a characteristic golden color.. Many people prefer not to use oil at all, leaving the pan dry. The fire should be medium, and the pan should not be too hot.

Depending on the recipe, tortillas are served with various sauces or simply as bread. You can wrap any filling in thin cakes, using them as pita bread. This dish is recommended to be served hot, as it becomes dry after cooling.
