Method

1. 1

   Combine flour, salt, and warm water in a bowl to knead a soft dough, then let it rest for 15 minutes.

2. 2

   In a separate bowl, mix the curd cheese, chopped herbs, green onion, olive oil, and red pepper flakes for the filling.

3. 3

   Divide the rested dough into walnut-sized pieces and roll them out thin on a floured surface.

4. 4

   Cook the rolled dough lightly on both sides in a preheated pan or griddle.

5. 5

   Place the cheese filling in the middle of the hot dough and roll it up tightly.

   Brush the prepared sıkmas with melted butter and serve hot.

Note. Be careful not to dry out the dough while cooking so it rolls easily without breaking.
