I think I've mentioned before that I make my own bread... or bread substitutes (?). Multiple times I'm sure. In any case, I love exploring different food cultures and get excited to try something new, especially if it is a new bread or something like a pancake. FYI this is nothing really like a pancake - the only similarities is that you use the same instrument to cook it - griddle or frying pan.
*As another side note, for as much as I like pancakes, I really don't have too many pancake recipes posted. I guess I'll have to fix that sometime in the near future. But on to kulcha. To give the simplest explanation, kulcha is another middle eastern/east/central asian flat bread. It is very similar to na'an, but the main difference is that na'an is made with yeast (at least traditional na'an that is) and kulcha is not. For this recipe I decided to bring in ties from the every delicious Chinese green onion pancake that my friends from China make so well. I suppose I was missing that part of my life and wanted to bring a little of that back to me.
3 c. white whole wheat flour1/2 tsp baking powder1/2 tsp baking soda1 T sugar1/2 tsp salt1/4 c. oil1/2 c. plain yogurtAdded water
1/2 c. parmesan cheese2 green onions, chopped2 cloves garlic, minced
Sift first five dry ingredients together. Next, mix in oil and yogurt. Mix in cheese, onions, and garlicAdd in water 1 T. at a time until dough comes together. Cover and let dough rest for 1-2 hours.
I bet these would taste fantastic with edamame hummus! (One of my Trader Joe's obsessions.)
