Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 90 grams (3.2 ounces) strong flour (bread flour)
- 1 medium-sized potato
- 55 milliliters (1.9 fluid ounces) milk
- Mozzarella cheese, as desired
Binding and Flavoring Ingredients:
- 10 grams (0.35 ounces) melted unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- A little salt
Finishing Ingredient:
- Honey, for drizzling
Instructions
- Prepare potato by grating finely, then blend with mayonnaise until thoroughly combined and creamy.
- Create a soft, elastic dough by incorporating strong flour, milk, melted butter, and salt. Knead thoroughly until smooth and uniform in texture.
- Separate dough into two equal portions, rolling each into thin, circular shapes with gentle, even pressure.
- Layer one dough circle with prepared potato mixture, ensuring even distribution while maintaining a small border around edges.
- Generously sprinkle mozzarella cheese over potato layer, covering surface evenly.
- Carefully place second dough circle on top, pressing edges firmly to seal and prevent filling from escaping during cooking.
- Heat non-stick pan over medium temperature, ensuring surface is evenly warmed.
- Gently place assembled bread into pan, covering with lid to trap steam and promote even cooking for approximately 5 minutes.
- When bottom turns golden brown, carefully flip bread and cook opposite side until cheese melts completely and exterior becomes crispy.
- Remove from pan, drizzle with honey for added sweetness, slice into wedges, and serve immediately while warm and crisp.
Notes
- Drain excess potato moisture by squeezing grated potato in a clean kitchen towel to prevent soggy bread texture.
- Replace strong flour with whole wheat or gluten-free flour for alternative dietary needs without compromising bread structure.
- Add fresh herbs like chives or parsley to potato mixture for enhanced flavor complexity and aromatic profile.
- Use low-fat mozzarella or plant-based cheese alternatives to create lighter, more diet-friendly version of the recipe.
