🧾 Ingredients

For the Dough

  • 90 g strong flour (bread flour)
  • 55 g milk
  • 10 g melted unsalted butter
  • Pinch of salt

For the Filling

  • 1 medium potato (boiled & mashed smooth)
  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese
  • Pinch salt
  • Pinch black pepper
  • Optional: parsley or garlic powder

For Cooking

  • 1 tsp butter or oil for the pan

🥣 Preparation Method

Step 1 — Prepare the Potato Filling

  1. Boil potato until fork-tender.
  2. Mash completely smooth (no lumps).
  3. Add salt, pepper, and optional seasoning.
  4. Mix in shredded cheese.
  5. Let cool slightly so it firms up.

Step 2 — Make the Dough

  1. In a bowl combine flour and salt.
  2. Add milk and melted butter.
  3. Mix until a soft dough forms.
  4. Knead 3–4 minutes until smooth.
  5. Cover and rest 5–10 minutes.

(No yeast needed — resting relaxes gluten for softness.)

Step 3 — Shape the Bread

  1. Divide dough into 2 portions.
  2. Roll into small circles.
  3. Place potato cheese filling in center.
  4. Seal edges tightly.
  5. Flatten gently into thick discs.

Step 4 — Cook in Frying Pan

  1. Heat pan on low-medium heat.
  2. Add small amount of butter or oil.
  3. Cook bread 4–5 minutes each side.
  4. Flip several times for even cooking.
  5. Press lightly — bread will puff and crisp.

Ready when golden brown with melted interior.
