Steps
- 1.
Baursaki (Kazakhstan) (Kazakh steppes): Creates the characteristic sour tang in these fried dough pockets
- 2.
Boortsog (Mongolia) (Mongolian nomadic tradition): Imparts subtle acidity to balance the sweetness of these biscuit-like pastries
- 3.
Shelpek (Kyrgyzstan) (Tian Shan mountain communities): Provides leavening for the flatbread's layered texture
