How to prepare cheese palianytsia in a pan: a budget alternative to bread

The most popular type of Ukrainian bakery product, palianytsia, can be eaten instead of bread and various rolls. The dough for palianytsia is made mostly with water, milk, sour cream, or yogurt. You can also make a dish with a filling - cheese, minced meat, meat or vegetables - or do without it.
