The preparation process involves roasting flour (usually wheat, barley or corn) in sheep fat, mixing it with water and salt, and leaving it to ferment for several hours using natural cultures. Although women traditionally prepare Maksym and men gather the ingredients, these roles are flexible and vary by household. Regional variations reflect local climates and ingredients.
