Flour is poured onto a flat surface. A hollow is created in the center of the mass of flour, eggs are cracked into this hollow, and they are thoroughly mixed. Olive oil and salt are added to the resulting mixture, and it is kneaded until a homogeneous dough is obtained. The dough is then covered with a thin cloth and left to rest. From the rested dough, pieces the size of a palm are taken, rolled out with a rolling pin (oklava) into thick sheets with a diameter of approximately 60 cm. The sheets are cut into square shapes of about 2 cm, placed on a tray sprinkled with flour, lightly dusted with flour, and left to dry.

Once the dough sheets are dry, they are boiled in a pot. After boiling, they are removed from the boiling water using a skimmer, drained, and placed on a serving plate.

While the dough sheets are drying, the sauce is prepared. Garlic is crushed and mixed with yogurt. This mixture is poured over the dough sheets on the serving plate. Melted butter, prepared in a pan, is also poured over the garlic yogurt to make it ready for serving.
