For a long time in Chechnya, they sow different crops such as barley, wheat, millet, corn, oats, rice were sown, and even technical ones (flax, cotton). Barley and wheat can be considered the most ancient cereals on the territory of the republic. For the preparation of flour products, the dough – «buod» – was prepared both ordinary and with yeast («sevsina buod» – fermented dough). Chechens have always used yeast made from hops – «khoyakhar». The dough for tortillas and pies is often acidified with curdled milk or yogurt, and pastries are prepared with an admixture of eggs and sugar. It is not surprising that the filling for most “breads” is cottage cheese, cheese, mashed potatoes or pumpkin because Chechnya is famous for the successful cultivation of cucurbit crops and animal husbandry.
