Shelpek

Also known as: Шелпек

Kazakh fried wheat flatbreads with milk, egg and a soft centre beneath a golden crust.

About Shelpek

Shelpek are round Kazakh fried flatbreads. NUR.KZ’s milk rendition belongs to the documented family of breads made with milk, water or kefir, traditionally presented in a set of seven.

Wheat flour, milk and egg give this version its soft dough, with a little sugar and salt balancing the flavour. The fried exterior has a golden colour and a crisp surface.

The breads are served hot as individual flat rounds. Their soft centres and lightly sweet, savoury character distinguish the milk version within the wider shelpek repertoire.
