🧀 Hungarian Cheesy Flatbreads – Grandma’s Golden Treat
When I was a child, my grandmother always made these cheesy flatbreads in huge batches. The kitchen filled with the aroma of freshly baked dough and creamy, salty cheese. We didn’t need a special occasion — even an ordinary afternoon felt like a celebration when these golden-brown, tender flatbreads landed on the table.
Now I make them often myself. They’re quick, simple, and always a big hit with the family.
