In Uzbekistan, bread occupies a significant place in the culture. There are many ways of cooking, but each of them requires manual labor. To create a pattern on a flat cake, ‘chekich’ is used (a special tool in cooking).
Because the bread is round in shape, it sometimes serves as a plate. Various sweets, shashlyk, roast and boiled meat are placed on top of it. In Uzbekistan it is customary to say goodbye to guests with bread, gifts and sweets.
