Common to all types of acma

There are many types of acchma with different fillings and pita bread. Pita bread can be bought ready, then you can cook a variety of lazy achma. And you can bake the dough at home.

The best recipe for homemade pita bread

To prepare thin pita bread you will need: a large round frying pan or baking sheet, a glass bowl for kneading dough, a small pan, two moistened towels, flour for sprinkling.

• fine flour - 340 g;
• 1 cup of water - 180-200 ml;
• 1 teaspoon of salt;
• 2 tablespoons of sunflower oil to lubricate the product.

1. Put the flour in a bowl, making a depression in the middle. If the flour is not finely ground, pre-sift through a sieve.
2. In a prepared pan, pour a glass of water, put a spoonful of salt. Bring water to a boil.
3. Pour hot water into a depression in the flour. Mix everything quickly with a wooden spoon.
4. Add two tablespoons of oil to the mixture, mix.
5. Put the warm mixture from a bowl on a cutting table, sprinkled with flour. Keep kneading for 10-15 minutes until a homogeneous and elastic mass is obtained. Try not to add flour, otherwise the pita bread will turn out rough and will roll badly. The result is an elastic and soft dough that lags behind the hands and the table.
6. Cover it with a napkin, leave it to rest for forty minutes.
7. Then divide into six to seven balls, roll into thin and large pancakes. The size of the pita bread should be twice the size of the baking sheet or dishes, in which you will subsequently bake achma.
8. Heat the pan. Bake on both sides without adding oil. To prevent flour from dusting, lay the finished rolled pita bread with a damp towel, then it will settle on it and will not burn. After laying out in a pan for baking.
9. Fold the finished pita bread on a large dish, covering it with a second wet towel. Then they will not dry, and will retain their taste for a long time.

The cakes prepared in this way can be stored in the refrigerator in a plastic bag. In addition to achma, pita bread can be used to make rolls or sandwiches.

If you decide not to cook for the future, but use it right away for the pie, then bake two rolled pita bread in a pan. They must be used when laying the first and last layer of the dish. Weld the rest of the rolled dough. To do this, dip the raw pancake in boiling water for 1-2 minutes, depending on the thickness. Remove from water, cool and use to create layers of cheese or other fillings.

Cook in a hot, but not hot pan, remove excess flour with a damp cloth. Do not add oil when frying!

Achma fillings

For the layer, you can use various fillings: cheese, cottage cheese, herbs, meat and vegetables. I will list some tips that can be used in the manufacture of the filling:

• Use at least two types of cheese - hard and soft Suluguni. Soft is good for inner layers, cut it into pieces before bookmarking. With grated cheese, decorate the top of the pie.
• In the curd filling, use soft curd. Add two tablespoons of heavy cream and soda to the tip of the knife. This technique will make the filling airy. Cottage cheese can be salted or sweetened to taste. It all depends on whether you want to bake a sweet or salty cake.

Achma from pita bread is prepared with a large pie; when served, it is cut into portioned portions.
