Khychiny
Description
Delicious baked treat for the whole family. Khychiny are something between stuffed buns, pancakes, and flatbreads. Originating from the North Caucasus, like many dishes from that region, khychiny are incredibly tasty and filling. It is believed that the thinner the khychiny are rolled, the more delicious they become. The key secret to preparing this dish lies precisely in rolling the dough as thin as possible.
