Layered flatbreads in a frying pan
Baking with puff pastry is quite finicky, especially if you are making it yourself. With time and the right knowledge, you can prepare an excellent dish for tea even if you are working with puff pastry for the first time. Today we will make layered flatbreads in a frying pan, which will become the main treat on the tea table. To make the flatbreads incredibly fragrant and crispy, follow our step-by-step recipe.
Ingredients
Show ingredients
- 300 g flour;
- 210 ml water;
- 30 g starch;
- ½ tsp salt;
- 1 tsp sugar;
- 50 ml sunflower oil.
Preparation
- In a large bowl, add sifted flour, then add salt and sugar, and mix the contents. Pour in slightly warmed water and mix again.
- Knead the mass with your hands to make a pliable dough. If you see it's getting too stiff, add a little more water. Knead the dough for about 5 minutes on the work surface. It becomes soft and pliable, and does not stick to your hands at all.
- Divide the dough into 5 pieces (about 100 g each) and coat them thoroughly with vegetable oil. Cover them with a towel or film and let them "rest" for about 15-20 minutes.
- Generously grease the working surface with vegetable oil and start stretching the first ball of dough with your hands to make it as thin as possible. If the dough tears and holes form in the process, there's no need to worry; the main thing is to stretch the dough into a thin layer.
- Brush the stretched flatbread with oil and lightly sprinkle it with starch so that it doesn’t stick together during the process. Then proceed to shape the flatbread. First, fold the top and bottom edges of the stretched dough toward the middle, then brush the surface with oil and add some starch.
- Now, connect the bottom edge of the dough with the top edge, creating a rectangle. Repeat the oil and starch actions—this is important for forming beautiful layers.
- Roll the dough into a long tube and then shape it into a "snail". Place the rolled flatbread under film and repeat the entire process with the remaining balls of dough.
- Lightly stretch the dough snail with your hands to the desired size, keeping in mind the diameter of your frying pan.
- Heat the frying pan over medium heat and place the flatbread on it. You can fry it in the pan without oil or with oil. However, flatbreads fried in oil turn out browner and more appetizing. Cook the flatbreads for 3-4 minutes on each side over medium heat.
- Here are some beautiful and aromatic layered flatbreads cooked in a frying pan. Pour some sweet tea and invite your whole family to the table. Enjoy your meal!
