These skillet kefir flatbreads stuffed with ham and cheese make a quick dinner with no rising or baking required. Grated cheese is mixed into a dough made with kefir, flour, a little baking soda, and sugar. The dough is shaped into balls, filling is tucked into the center of each, and the balls are flattened into flatbreads. They are then pan-fried in oil until golden on both sides. You can vary the filling or even try a sweet version.

      Instructions

      Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.

      1. In a bowl, mix the kefir with the salt, baking soda, sugar, and cheese. Gradually mix in the flour.
      2. Shape the dough into small balls. Place filling in the center of each, then seal and flatten into a flatbread, keeping the filling enclosed.
      3. Pan-fry the flatbreads in oil until golden on both sides.

      Tip: Shape the balls with floured hands and use only enough filling to allow the dough to seal tightly around it; otherwise, it may tear when flattened.
