Lavash achma with cheese - useful tips and tricks

Achma will turn out to be especially appetizing if you sprinkle the top with a thin layer of grated cheese, but always hard. It will melt and turn into a wonderful crust.

It is believed that real achma is served only hot. Therefore, you should not wait for the cake to cool completely and it is better to immediately send it to the table from the oven.

If the lavash is dry and crumbles, it's okay, it will still fit for a cheese pie. Simply sprinkle the tortillas with ode, cover with a towel and wait for a while.

You can bake achma not only in the oven, but also in a multicooker. In this case, the pie is collected directly in the bowl, but it is advisable not to make the structure too high.

Any cake can be diversified. Add sausage, chopped tomato, or a little sautéed onion to the cheese. Especially this technique will help out if the filling is small.

Its rich taste cannot be forgotten or confused with anything - warm melted cheese combined with the most delicate dough gives an unforgettable pleasure.

Some people find that the process of making the dough is quite lengthy and exhausting. There is truth in this, but there is a very simple recipe for business and lazy housewives - lavash achma.

Components: three sheets of thin Armenian lavash, two hundred grams of Russian cheese and feta cheese, three eggs, fat-free kefir (half a glass), butter (50 grams). If you wish, you can take fresh herbs: dill, parsley and cilantro. For pungency and piquancy - garlic, pepper.

Method of cooking in a multicooker

We rub two types of cheese - on a medium grater. Beat the fermented milk drink with eggs separately with a whisk. You can sprinkle with black pepper or other spices to your liking. We take out the finished pita bread from the bag, cut out three small circles (to the size of the multicooker bowl). One layer will be larger than the rest. We cut or tear the rest of the dough with our hands, put it in a kefir mass.

Lubricate the inner surface of the container bowl with a small amount of butter and transfer a large layer to it. Sprinkle generously on top with cheese filling, cover with the next round, then put the grated cheese back in and fill with the egg mixture. We lay out all other products in the same sequence.

The last layer will be a small circle of lavash filled with kefir mass. Cut butter on top. Achma from pita bread is sent to the multicooker for 50 minutes, in the "Baking" mode (150C). After exactly half an hour, turn the cake over so that it bakes evenly. The finished dish should stand for a while. Serve warm with sour cream and herbs. Very satisfying, nutritious and original.

Georgian achma with suluguni cheese

Real achma is made from boiled dough, the recipe for which consists of simple and affordable ingredients. You will have to tinker a little and take time for it, but believe me - it's worth it. Any cheese is suitable as a filling. In Georgia, suluguni or Ossetian is mainly put in the pie. But it doesn't matter.

Required ingredients: half a kilogram of suluguni, a little less than a glass of sour cream, two eggs, flour (300-400 gr.), Butter (one hundred grams), water (1/3 cup) and salt.

Step by step technology

First, knead the dough of eggs, water, flour and salt. It must be elastic. Adjust the amount of flour yourself. Cover the bowl with a towel and let sit for 10 minutes. We divide it into three balls - one more. We roll out the largest cake into a very thin layer and line it on the bottom of the baking sheet, so that the sides hang down. Grease well with melted butter.

We also roll out the rest of the balls and boil each for two minutes and immediately lower it into a container with cold water. Lay a layer of boiled dough on top of the raw crust, cover with grated cheese mixed with sour cream and butter. We alternate all layers until we run out of products. We cover the last boiled cake with bumpers, grease with butter or sour cream and immerse in the oven for 40 minutes (200C).

Beat the cottage cheese in a blender or grind with a sieve. Add eggs, milk, grated cheese and chopped dill to the mass. On a refractory baking dish, put the prepared filling, on it a cake, previously soaked in milk. We alternate all the layers. With the fourth layer of lavash we complete the whole process. Cover with butter and bake for 40 minutes. Curd achma with lavash cheese is an amazing appetizer about which you can say "lick your fingers".

Recipe with Adyghe cheese

For five cakes, it is enough to take one egg, half a liter of milk, one hundred grams of sour cream and 50 grams. butter. And of course, the main ingredient of the pie is cheese, in our recipe there are two varieties: Adyghe (350 gr.) And Russian (100 gr.).

Lavash achma is made in the same way as the recipes described above. Beat eggs with a blender, then add sour cream and combine with grated Russian cheese. Mash Adyghe with a fork and transfer to a separate container.

Hold two layers of dough in milk - preferably warm, and place them in a baking sheet so that the edges hang over the side. Cut the remaining cakes into neat squares and soak in milk. We spread the sour cream, on top - pieces of lavash, butter, Adyghe cheese - alternate layers several times. The result should be a tall pie. Cover with hanging dough and bake for half an hour at 200C.

You can just buy lavash, or you can cook it in a simple way yourself and.

For pita bread with cheese, prepare the ingredients according to the list.

Achma can be collected in a round baking dish. I cook from round pita bread, but you can also form a version from rectangular ones. For the filling, grate the suluguni and stir it with one or two eggs.

For the sauce, combine kefir and one egg and mix too, salt to taste, but note that the suluguni may already be salty.

First of all, you need to lay 3 round pita breads with a little overlap, grease with kefir sauce and put the suluguni filling in the center.

Then cover the filling with pita bread (or a piece of pita bread), wrinkling it a little if necessary.

Pour some kefir sauce on it, i.e. moisten.

Next, lay out the cheese filling again and repeat the layers as many times as planned. Then tuck the free ends of the lower pita bread and cover with another pita bread. I will have 3 layers of cheese filling, lined with pita bread. Pour the last layer with kefir sauce and add a piece of butter if desired.

Bake achma at 180-200 degrees in the oven for about half an hour.

How to cook from a photo step by step





Break the eggs into a deep bowl.




Beat the eggs with a whisk until smooth.




Pour kefir into a bowl with beaten eggs.






Add sour cream to eggs and kefir.




Beat the eggs thoroughly with kefir and sour cream.




Grate Suluguni, Adyghe and hard cheeses on a coarse grater.






Place the grated cheeses in a deep bowl for easy mixing later. Finely chop the dill and add to the cheeses. Toss the three types of cheese and the chopped dill (you can do this with a large spoon or straight with your hand). Leave two tablespoons of the mixture for sprinkling with achma.




Grease a deep baking dish (rectangular or round) with butter. Cover the form with pita bread so that it not only covers the form, but rather large pieces remain on both sides, which then allow you to completely cover the form.




Put about 1/5 of the cheese filling on the bottom of the mold (on the pita bread).




Divide the remaining pita bread into three equal parts. Take one of the three pieces and tear it with your hands into small pieces of various shapes.






Put pieces of pita bread in an egg beaten with kefir and sour cream. Stir so that each piece is covered with the egg-kefir mixture on all sides.




Taking out the soaked pieces of pita bread one by one, put them on the cheese with dill, crushing a little and trying to completely cover the cheese.




Put another layer of dill cheese on top of the pita bread.




Tear 1/3 of the pita bread into pieces again and place on the cheese. Repeat again, then cover the surface of the pie with the remaining cheese. Thus, you should get 4 layers of cheese with dill, and between them - 3 layers of pita bread.
Pour the remaining egg-kefir mixture onto the pie. Then lift the hanging edges of the pita bread and cover the filling of the pie with them, gently tucking it on all sides to shape the achma.






Melt the remaining butter and brush the surface of the cake with it.




Sprinkle with the remaining dill cheese.




Place the dish in the oven and bake at 180 degrees for 25-30 minutes. Then remove the pie from the oven and let it “rest” for about 10-15 minutes. After that, the lazy one can be served at the table.




By the way, this dish can be prepared with any kind of cheese. The main thing is that the total mass of cheeses is 500 g.
