Categories: ,

Flia is a traditional dish from the Albanian and Kosovar regions, typically made during special occasions or large gatherings. It is a savory, layered flatbread made from flour, yogurt, milk, and egg, and cooked over an open flame or in a wood-fired oven. The batter is poured onto a large pan, then cooked in layers, with each layer being spread with butter or cream before adding the next. The dish has a soft, doughy texture and is often served as a hearty meal, typically accompanied by yogurt, cheese, or meat. Flia is particularly popular in rural areas and is often enjoyed as a communal meal, bringing people together to share in the process of making and eating it. The dish is similar to a savory pancake or crepe, but with a denser, more filling consistency.
