How to Make Kefir Cheese Flatbreads
Step 1: Prepare the Dough
In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, and baking soda.
Add the kefir (or yogurt) and vegetable oil, then mix until a soft dough forms.
Knead the dough for 3–5 minutes until smooth. If needed, add a little more flour, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough is soft but not sticky.
Cover the dough and let it rest for about 10 minutes.
Step 2: Make the Filling
In another bowl, combine the grated cheese, chopped boiled eggs, and sliced green onions.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste, then mix until evenly combined.
Step 3: Shape the Flatbreads
Divide the dough into equal portions.
Roll each piece into a small circle.
Place a generous spoonful of filling in the center, then fold and seal the edges securely.
Gently flatten each filled dough ball with your hands or a rolling pin.
Step 4: Cook
Heat a dry or lightly oiled skillet over medium heat.
Cook each flatbread for about 3–4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and fully cooked through.
Repeat with the remaining dough.
Step 5: Serve
Serve warm on their own or with plain yogurt, sour cream, or your favorite dipping sauce.
Pro Tips
