Materials

For the Bread Dough:

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

For the Filling:

  • 1 medium potato
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • Mozzarella cheese as needed, cut into small chunks or strips

Instructions

. Prepare the Potato:

  • Cook the potato until tender. You can choose boiling, microwaving, or baking.
  • Once cooked, peel the potato and mash it in a bowl. Let it cool slightly.
  • Mix the mashed potato with the mayonnaise in a bowl until well combined. This mixture will be your filling.

. Make the Dough:

  • In a mixing bowl, combine the strong flour and salt.
  • Add the milk and melted butter to the dry ingredients. Mix everything together until a dough forms.
  • Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead it for about 5 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
  • Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 10 minutes to prevent drying out.

. Assemble the Bread:

  • Divide the dough into equal portions depending on your desired bread size.
  • Roll out each portion into a small circle, about 1/4 inch thick.

. Fill and Seal the Bread:

  • Place a spoonful of the potato-mayonnaise mixture in the center of each dough circle.
  • Top the potato filling with a chunk or strips of mozzarella cheese.
  • Fold the dough over the filling, pinching the edges together to form a sealed pocket. Make sure the filling is completely enclosed to prevent leaking during cooking.

. Cook the Bread:

  • Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. You can lightly butter the pan if desired, although the dough already contains butter.
  • Place the filled bread pockets in the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side. The bread is done when it's golden brown and the cheese inside has melted. You may also notice the bread puffing up slightly.

. Serve and Enjoy!

  • Enjoy your delicious Cheese Potato Bread warm from the pan, especially when the cheese is melted and gooey.
  • You can optionally serve it with a side of sour cream or a dipping sauce of your choice for an extra flavor boost.
