Cooking method

• The recipe for these cakes is born of friendship. Albeit virtual, but so real. And the fact that he appeared, I owe Lena-kubanochkawhich brought out for me Sourdough broth for Asian tortillas... And she taught them to bake. Those who are regulars tea themeremember this story. All of them took an active part in the birth of the recipe. It all started with what I shared with the "tea girls" by their desire to learn how to bake real Kazakh flatbread on broth and onion sourdough. Lena undertook to take her out. And brought it out. And she laid out the recipe on our Bread Maker.
• And she instructed me to draw up the recipe for the cakes by making Official statement... I resisted for a long time, believing that it was unfair! Lena did the work, and the recipe will be published under my name. But after a while, seeing that Lena did not change her mind, I gave up. Firstly, this is not just a recipe for me. For me, these cakes are a part of my Motherland - beloved Kazakhstan. And far from him, these cakes became more than bread. Secondly, I could not let down the person who brought out not just a leaven for me, but became a real friend, like many "tea girls". Lena put so much warmth into the recipe that I got the sourdough right away. It turned out very strong, and the cakes are the real ones from my memory. I share with you, dear forum users, this recipe.
• So I made a recipe for one large or two small cakes. Slightly changed the dough preparation technology, adding autolysis and folding the dough with an envelope 2 times. In principle, this stretch-fold technique may or may not be used. But I read that for some types of especially fluffy cakes, tandoor people use it. The dough was made in a bread maker.
• 1. Preparation of the dough .
• I made a sourdough according to Lena's recipe. See how I got it.
• 
• If the leaven was in the refrigerator, then it must be taken out 1 - 2 hours before the dough is kneaded, so that it gets warm and "starts playing". To do this, put the starter culture in a bucket of a bread machine, add a little flour and warm water from the recipe. Mix. Put the bucket in a warm place and wait for the leaven to increase in volume and play.
• 
• 
• Put some of the flour from the recipe in a cup and put the fat in it.
• 
• Add the rest of the flour and salt to the bucket of the bread maker with sourdough.
• 
• Pour in warm water.
• 
• On the kneading program (I have "Pelmeni"), mix all the ingredients until a coarse soft bun. Reset the program.
• 
• Add the lard with the deferred flour to the bucket.
• 
• After 15 - 20 minutes, turn on the kneading program for a full cycle (I have 20 minutes) and knead the soft dough until well-developed gluten.
• 
• Put the dough on the cloth with the flour rubbed into it and form a ball.
• 
• The dough is a little sticky, so I used this technique with a cloth, which was used in the East when baking sourdough cakes. The dough was flattened and rolled out on an old canvas with flour rubbed into it.
• Cover the dough with a cloth and leave for 15 minutes.
• 
• Gently stretch the dough into a rectangle and fold it into an envelope, as shown in the photo.
• 
• Leave the dough for 30 minutes.
• 
• After 30 minutes, carefully repeat the procedure for folding the dough into an envelope.
• 
• Leave the dough for 2 - 3 hours until it increases in volume. My dough has tripled.
• 
• 2. Formation of blanks.
• Gently, being careful not to squeeze out the bubbles, form a ball.
• 
• If you bake 2 cakes, then divide the dough into two parts and form balls too.
• 
• Let it rest under a bowl. After 15 minutes, gently stretch with your hands or roll out the dough into a circle 1 cm thick. Press the middle firmly with your fingers.
• 
• For tandoor cakes, the middle is usually made large so that the cake sticks well to the walls of the tandoor. Although there are also such baby cakes in which the middle is made small. Since I baked cakes in the oven, and most of all I like its edges, I did not make the middle big.
• Put the baking sheet with the preparation in a warm place for proofing until it increases by 2 - 2.5 times (I had a large flat cake for 45 minutes, small ones - 30 minutes each.
• 3. Preparation of cakes for baking.
• Sprinkle the workpieces with water. In Kazakhstan, tandoor workers moisten the bottom of the workpieces with strong salty water. The result is a very tasty combination of moderately salty crumb and brackish crust.
• Pierce the middle with a check. If there is no check, then you can do it with a tender raiser or a fork.
• 
• 
• You can sprinkle the top with sesame seeds, nigella, or finely chopped onions.
• 4. Baking tortillas.
• In the original, the flatbread is baked in a tandoor - an oven made of baked clay. In the absence of this, we will bake them in the oven.
• Put a baking sheet with the workpiece in an oven preheated to 300 * C, reduce the temperature to 250 * C and bake until tender (a large cake 25 - 30 minutes, small ones - 15 - 20 minutes each).
• Wrap the finished cakes in a towel and leave to cool completely (if you can wait for this).
• 
• 
• Break the cake into pieces and enjoy its divine taste and aroma!
• 
• The flat cake cannot be cut with a knife. It is believed that this can offend her. But in order to better see the structure of the crumb, I did it.
• 
• You can eat a cake with sweet tea.
• 
• It is possible with traditional Kazakh tea with milk.
• 
• It is possible with ayran or koumiss.
• 
• Or just like that!
• 
• This is me in 2011 on a mountain road near Alma-Ata near a small tandoor with a real cake.
• Despite the fact that the cakes are baked in wheat flour, they very helpful... Primarily because the dough for them is made with sourdough. With acidic fermentation and prolonged fermentation, the action of the protective substances of the grain stops, which allows the body to assimilate the necessary minerals and trace elements (calcium, magnesium, copper, iron, zinc). In addition, complex substances in cereals are broken down to simpler ones and are easier to digest and absorb by the body. A sourdough cooked in meat broth, onions and katyk * makes these cakes very nutritious.
• For the peoples of Central Asia, flatbread is almost an independent dish. Hot, golden, it is for a real Asian - breakfast, dessert and any other meal, the divine taste of which never gets bored. Avicenna also wrote: “The one who eats obi-non in the morning will be full all day”.
• Bread is sacred for the Central Asian peoples, therefore, many rituals and beliefs are associated with flat cakes. Going on a long journey, a person must definitely eat a small piece of a cake, after which this piece, dear to the house, is carefully stored until it is returned. They break the cake both before the wedding, and as a sign of strengthening the persuasion! Traditionally, those who have tasted bread together become friends. This is the main secret of the cake - appetizing, beautiful, fragrant, uniting and reconciling!
• I love and bake different types of bread. But these cakes are the most delicious, healthy and beautiful bread for me! The one from my memory, from my House, from my beloved Kazakhstan.

Note

And this message in the tea topic was the most powerful argument for me to write this recipe.

Man is such a creature that, like it or not, it grows up. Of course, a small child, he remains. Inside. Some are deeper, some are not. Someone completely forgets about him and does not even give a sigh, does not allow him to be reminded of himself.But he is, this little child. Sits there, quietly inside us ... And we grow up, start a family, give birth to children, move from place to place ... And he sits there ... forgotten ... he is lonely. He looks out, looks out of the corner of his eye at the world around him ... And around there are already other people, other faces, other houses, other trees ... And these trees are not at all big, as before, as when he ran along the paths, played when we always took it with us to play ... Smells are different, colors are different, alien. And he will become so lonely that he dives into the depths of us and sits quietly again. Sad, remembering how fun it was, how great it was ... then ... when the trees were big ...
And sometimes we ourselves offend him. They say, sit and don't rock the boat, I'm an adult aunt, it's not solid for me to run into a jump, sing with happiness (not only in the shower), turn my cheek to a street puppy so that he pokes a wet nose into it, and even licks ... Nizya, I'm big ...
And then one day something or Someone appears on our Life Path. It doesn't matter who or what. It can be a phrase spoken by a passer-by, the words of an old song, the smell of a flower on the side of the road, a book, a movie fragment, or just a Passer-by. But your Little Child recognizes him, he is happy, he is not alone at this moment! He is ready to cry with happiness that he has found, found something that can bring him Home! And figs at such a moment you can shove the Little Child back. At such a moment, he bursts out, and the adult aunt is ready to cry, dance, spin with happiness with him. Because she is this Little Child. And his name is Soul ... And she found the Way Home. And she is no longer Waif. For Luda, this recipe, this leaven, this taste, this smell were the thread that connects her with her Childhood, with her House. With her moving, life situations she was afraid that she had lost her, let go of her hands. Therefore, she so needed to find, grab the end of the thread. And after all, by and large, it's not about the cakes, not about the recipe. I really wanted to say with this recipe: "Lyudochka, take this thread! Don't be afraid, you are not lost. You are not alone in this World. We are with you!"

Helen and all the tea girls, thank you for everything!



* Preparation of katyk for sourdough.
In order for the leaven to become strong, it is not enough to take any fermented milk product. The real sourdough for Asian flatbread is made on katyk. Katyk is a fermented milk product obtained by fermenting one stripped off to 2/3 of the volume of milk (not baked!). In the absence of a real katyk for fermentation, I added old homemade yogurt and loose sour cream in equal proportions (1 tsp) to the evaporated milk (100 ml). Experts recommend keeping fermented milk at a temperature of 28 - 30 * C for 3 days to obtain an authentic product. Since I needed katyk not for consumption, but for sourdough, I cooked it for 5 days.

Yes, you can give a lot for such cakes !! So I would have bitten into the crust, breathed in the aroma of the crumb and washed down with good green tea !!
Lyudochka and Helen! I congratulate you, coauthors, with a wonderful recipe, wonderful embodiment and a joyful mood resulting from reading a wonderful text!

Oh, ohohonyushki! What a beauty! And goodies!
Finally I saw you, teacher, because everywhere in the recipes, only your hands!
Can I break off a piece? I want to remain your friend.
And what a movie!

I have never eaten such cakes! Very appetizing!

Luda, a very interesting story and beautiful cakes. I, too, now have this leaven. It's good that the proportions are for 1-2 cakes, we just have to eat. I have a lot to do with Kazakhstan too. I was in Almaty in the fall, my son worked there.

And she heard the song and was touched.

Thank you warmed your soul. And the photo of my beloved Alma-Ata is just a balm for the soul. Thanks again

Florichka, thanks for the link to the video about Alma-Ata. As if I walked through its streets. Everything is so familiar!
Now Alma-Ata has changed a lot. Has become so modern, especially in the upper part of the city! Well, you can see this from my video!
prubulThank you for the photo of the branch with the aport against the background of the mountains! I collected these apples on state farms, when I was young. We were sent to harvest. The apple could be removed with only two fingers, without touching the apple. Oh, how much we ate them. And in bazaars a bucket of aport cost 50 kopecks. Stunned how long ago it was!

Finally I saw you, teacher, because everywhere in the recipes, only your hands! Can I break off a piece? I want to remain your friend. And what a movie!

Helen, aha, showed up. I found a suitable photo for this recipe, so I opened my face! Break off as much as you like. I'll bake some more. I already have the third active leaven!

[Tashenka]

Tashenka, Hi! Thank you for stopping by and sharing your emotions. I am very pleased that you liked the recipe! Natasha, there is nothing complicated here. Go to Lena's about leavening. It's very simple. You will bring out the leaven, and baking is no longer at all difficult. Easier than bread!

Luda, I'm out! No, I'm generally shocked by your "antics"

, in the beautiful sense of the word,

with leaven. But such beauty and such sensuality ... Honestly, I burst into tears .. Oh, this Helen-Kubanochka, just like "everyone" looks into my soul. Of course, I will not repeat such beauty, but I admire your talent! True ...

[Tumanchik]

Luda, I'm out! No, I'm generally shocked by your "antics"

Tumanchik, amused. I know how happy I am now! So she was afraid of them, these leavens, and now she is brave, after Lenochka had painted everything as if by notes. I never tire of thanking her. So try it. It's not really scary!
Irisha, thank you for such kind words! How nice to hear them!

[lappl1]

lappl1, Lyudochka, the cakes are delicious, so you can see. Thanks for the good recipe, many have been waiting for it.

[Tonya]

Tonya, to your health! Thank you for stopping by and praising! I'm glad you liked the cakes! Help yourself!

Lyudochka, you never cease to delight with your bread, and then there are such bread! Well done! I will definitely do it. Only now you just have to bake with yeast. Something on the sourdough began to spread me a little. I gained 2kg in a month. It's a shame, however.
Special thanks for your love for Alma-Ata. This is my hometown. I adore him and the people who live here.

[Firefly1]

Firefly1, Svetochka, hello, countrywoman! How glad I am to see you on the page of this symbolic recipe. Thank you for the appreciation of my bread. This is doubly pleasant to hear from a fellow countrywoman. Say hello to my beloved Alma-Ata! Let it bloom and grow further.
And about the cakes ... Oh, don't tell me. It is impossible to tear yourself away from them. here at least on what bakes, but still get better. Therefore, I began to alternate them with other breads. In general, 2 kg is not a sentence! you will have time to drop by summer.
Svetochka, thanks for stopping by! It was nice to see you!

To be honest, the first time I read about sourdough in meat broth, I felt very uncomfortable, the sourdough eats meat, it already smells like Stepin King! You take a jar of sourdough, bring it to your nose to smell, and she bites you and ate your nose!
Lud, show you all your fingers are intact?

[Nikusya]

Nikusya, oh, what a turn ... I was more afraid that the broth would turn sour, and you have with St. King of the Association ... Oh, I laughed ...
Ilona, ​​everything is all right ... Both with the nose and with the fingers. I can't show Toko - who will take pictures? Take my word for it. Well, I type with both hands. So everything is OK.
Thank you, Ilonochka, for your attention! Come on, do not reason, but start the leaven. Boom together the cakes bake. I'm just going to do it now. the leaven is warmed up.

Lyudochka, my dear, are you ours ?! I am very glad! So you will understand me that we, Alma-Ata people, are made of some other "dough". This is not a belonging to the city, but the Alma-Ata nationality.
Do you remember that we sold such cakes at Nikolsky and Zeleny bazaars. Now they sell, but not the same taste. You will be with us in Alma-Ata, come and visit me. I will be very glad to see you!

I can't keep up with you guys!

[Nikusya]

Nikusya, calmly ... It's okay! Get another Asian girl and you will be happy!

This is a song, not a recipe. How much love and soul has been invested in it! Thank you!

Lyudochka, my dear, are you ours ?! I am very glad! So you will understand me that we, Alma-Ata people, are made of some other "dough". This is not a belonging to the city, but an Alma-Ata nationality.
Do you remember that such cakes were sold at Nikolsky and Zeleny Bazaar. Now they sell, but not the same taste. You will be with us in Alma-Ata, come and visit me. I will be very glad to see you!

Svetochka, yes, I was born in Alma-Ata! And she lived almost all her life. Except for studies, and now, we have been living in my husband's homeland for 3.5 years. so, you and I are of the same Alma-Ata nationality! As you rightly noted.
And I rarely visited Nikolsky and Zeleny Bazaar, because I lived in Tastak. And there, at the Tastak bazaar, they made a mess with flatbread. And the photo is on the way to the dam.We went there for spring water and always bought cakes there. I don't know if they have kept their traditions. but back in 2011 they had the right cakes.
Svetik, thanks for the invitation! I will definitely use it on occasion! You, too, if you are in our area, let me know! Let's meet and greet!
