Kazakh shelpek - flatbreads

Try a delicious dish of Central Asian peoples. I like to experiment in the kitchen and today I decided to cook a Kazakh dish - shelpek. Shelpek is the tortillas of the Central Asian peoples, which are fried in sunflower oil. The taste of shelpek resembles the dough for chebureks. Tortillas are cooked quickly, but they turn out to be hearty and tasty.

Step-by-step cooking

Cooking time: 30 min

Step 1:
To prepare Kazakh shelpeks, we will prepare flour, water, sunflower oil and salt.
Step 2:
Pour flour into a bowl, add salt and water. Knead the dough.
Step 3:
The dough must be kneaded well. It should become elastic and soft. Leave the finished dough for 10 minutes.
Step 4:
Divide the resulting dough into 7 parts. We roll out each part with a rolling pin into a thin circle, but no larger than the diameter of the frying pan in which we will bake shelpeks.
Step 5:
Fry each tortilla over medium heat in preheated sunflower oil on both sides, while constantly rotating the shelpek in a circle. Shelpek is fried very quickly - only 15 seconds on each side. There should not be a ruddy crust. The main thing is not to overcook the shelpeks, since after cooling they will become hard.
Step 6:
We take out the finished shelpek on a paper towel so that excess oil is drained from it.
Step 7:
We serve ready-made shelpeks to the table.
