About Jupka

Jupka is a Kyrgyz bread of very thin, dry sheets with a brittle texture. The hot-milk rendition combines pieces of this delicate bread with milk and ghee, giving it a softer, richer character at the table.

The bread has a simple flour-and-salt foundation. Milk supplies creaminess, while ghee adds a buttery flavour to the otherwise spare combination.

A bowl of softened jupka offers a different texture from the crisp sheets themselves. Milk and ghee give this household presentation a comforting richness, while the dry bread also has a long association with portable provisions.
