Balkar-style khychiny with sauce
Description
Delicious baked treat for the whole family. Khychins are Caucasian stuffed flatbreads. They can be used both as bread and as a standalone snack. Khychins are something between stuffed buns, pancakes, and filled flatbreads. I highly recommend trying authentic Balkar-style khychins with sauce—they're delicious, appetizing, and very filling.
