Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- ¾ cup (108 grams) bread flour
- 1 cup (226 grams) mozzarella cheese
- 2 medium potatoes
Liquid and Seasoning Ingredients:
- ¼ cup (60 milliliters) milk
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon sugar
- ½ teaspoon vegetable oil
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 pinch salt (for mashed potato)
Instructions
- Tender boiled potatoes transform into a creamy mash with a delicate salt seasoning, creating a smooth, rich base for the bread filling.
- Merge flour, milk, salt, sugar, vegetable oil, and baking powder into a unified dough mixture, kneading thoroughly until smooth and elastic. Allow the dough to rest and develop its texture, enabling gluten relaxation and flavor enhancement.
- Prepare a lightly oiled work surface to prevent sticking. Gently roll the dough into a thin, uniform circular shape, ensuring even thickness throughout.
- Distribute the velvety potato mash and scattered mozzarella cheese precisely in the center of the rolled dough, leaving adequate margins for sealing.
- Carefully fold the dough’s edges over the filling, creating a secure pocket. Press and crimp the borders meticulously to prevent any cheese or potato leakage during cooking.
- Warm a pan with a thin layer of oil over gentle heat, maintaining a consistent temperature to promote even browning without burning.
- Place the sealed bread pocket into the heated pan, allowing each side to transform into a golden-brown, crispy exterior with a molten interior.
- Once achieved a perfect caramelized surface and thoroughly heated filling, remove from pan and let rest momentarily to stabilize internal temperature.
- Slice the bread diagonally, revealing the melted cheese and creamy potato filling, and serve immediately while maintaining optimal warmth and texture.
Notes
- Swap potato varieties for different textures, like Yukon Gold for creamier results or russet for fluffier consistency.
- Mix grated cheese types to enhance flavor complexity, combining mozzarella with sharp cheddar or parmesan for deeper taste profile.
- Control bread’s moisture by ensuring mashed potatoes aren’t too wet, which could make dough soggy and difficult to seal.
- Use gluten-free flour blend for cel
