Onion pancakes

Cookinero 11 Apr 2025

Onion flatbread is a national Uzbek dish. It is usually prepared with onions. Flour, water, egg and salt are added to the dough. There are also variations, for example, garlic ones. Such flatbreads are prepared in the oven. Moreover, the filling of green onions and garlic is not inside, but outside. The recipe calls for fresh yeast, but you can take dry yeast. Only fresh green onions are suitable for the filling: juicy, without yellowness and dried feathers. When buying yogurt, pay attention to the one without sugar and additives.
