Yutaza
Description
Delicious baked goods for the whole family. I recommend making yutaza with sweet tea; it also goes well with jam. Lenten yeast dough is rolled thin, brushed with oil, stretched by hand, and rolled into tubes. The tubes are placed on a rack—often shaped into rounds—and steamed like manti. Serve with tea or coffee.
