Yeast flatbreads

Cookinero 24 Mar 2025

Yeast flatbreads are a light snack or appetizer for hot dishes. To cook them in a frying pan or in the oven, use high-fat milk, fermented baked milk, kefir, sour cream or water and, of course, flour. This is a great alternative to bread, or they can be served with jam or honey as a dessert. For a fluffy flatbread, the dough should be smooth and elastic, not tight or soft. Temperature is also important. The dough rises well in a dry and warm place. Cooking yeast flatbreads according to the recipe is quick and easy.
