lapkák

Lapkák, also known as flatbreads, are a staple food found in numerous cultures around the world. Their common characteristic is a dough that is typically flattened and then cooked, often on a griddle, in an oven, or over an open flame. The ingredients for lapkák are generally simple, most often consisting of flour, water, and salt, with leavening agents such as yeast or baking soda sometimes included to create a softer, puffier texture.

The variety of lapkák is extensive, reflecting regional culinary traditions and available ingredients. Examples include the Indian naan and roti, the Middle Eastern pita, the Italian focaccia, and the Mexican tortilla. Each type has unique preparation methods, dough consistencies, and cooking times, leading to distinct flavors and textures. Some lapkák are designed to be eaten as a vehicle for other foods, such as dips, stews, or fillings, while others are enjoyed on their own as a snack or accompaniment to a meal. Their versatility and nutritional value have contributed to their enduring popularity across diverse cuisines.
