Potato and Cheese Stuffed Bread

Ingredients

• 3 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Warm water (Add gradually; the dough should be soft and pliable.)
• 1 tsp Salt (For the dough)
• 2 tbsp Vegetable oil (For the dough and cooking)
• 4 Potatoes (Medium potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks)
• 1.5 cup Cheddar cheese (Shredded; mozzarella or another good melting cheese may also be used.)
• 2 tbsp Fresh parsley (Finely chopped)
• 2 clove Garlic (Minced)
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper (For the filling)
• Salt (To taste, for the potato filling)

Steps

1. 1

   Combine the flour and salt in a large bowl. Pour in the warm water gradually while mixing, then add 1 tablespoon of the oil and knead until a smooth, soft dough forms. If the dough feels dry, add a little more water; if sticky, dust lightly with flour.

2. 2

   Cover the dough and let it rest at room temperature for about 20 minutes. Resting allows the gluten to relax so the dough can be rolled thinly without springing back.

3. 3

   Meanwhile, place the peeled potato chunks in a saucepan, cover with water, and boil until completely tender when pierced with a fork, about 15 minutes. Drain thoroughly.

4. 4

   Transfer the hot potatoes to a bowl and mash until smooth. Add the shredded cheese, parsley, minced garlic, black pepper, and salt to taste. Mix until evenly combined; the residual heat should begin to soften the cheese.

5. 5

   Divide the rested dough into 6 equal portions. Keep the portions covered while working so they do not dry out.

6. 6

   Roll one portion into a thin round on a lightly floured surface. Place a portion of the potato-and-cheese filling in the center, leaving a border around the edge.

7. 7

   Bring the dough edges up and over the filling, pinch them together firmly to seal, then gently flatten the filled ball. Roll it out again into a thick, even flatbread, taking care not to tear the dough or expose the filling. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.

8. 8

   Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Brush or drizzle it with a little of the remaining oil, then place one stuffed flatbread in the hot pan.

9. 9

   Cook for about 2 to 4 minutes per side, turning when the underside is golden brown and browned spots appear on the surface. Add a small amount of oil as needed and cook until the bread is fully done and the cheese inside is melted.

10. 10

    Transfer the cooked breads to a plate and repeat with the remaining stuffed flatbreads. Serve warm, either whole or cut into wedges.
