Balep Korkun Tibetan flatbread freshly baked

Balep Korkun - Tibetan Flatbread

Balep Korkun is a traditional Tibetan flatbread primarily made by Tibetan nomads and residents of mountain villages. It consists of simple ingredients because basic bread-making ingredients are difficult to obtain in Tibet's cold climate. The bread is cooked in a pan, so it doesn't require an oven, which is a perfect solution in areas where the stove is the primary cooking appliance. Balep Korkun has a dense yet soft texture and is often eaten with butter or jam. In Tibet, it is traditionally served with tea or hot soups.
