Steps for making cheese and potato bread
Note: Because the recipe is a bit long, we will divide the procedure into several phases.
Preparation of the dough
In a bowl, place the previously sifted flour, together with a little salt to taste. Mix with a spoon to integrate.
Pour the liquid milk over the flour, followed by the melted unsalted butter.
Beat with the help of a spoon, paddle or simply beat with an industrial mixer, until all the ingredients are well integrated.
Begin to knead with your hands until the dough is homogeneous.
Cover with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and let it rest for an hour at room temperature.
After an hour, uncover the bowl with the dough and flour a flat surface where we will stretch the dough. Also flour the rolling pin that you will use to stretch the dough.
Place the dough on the floured surface and with the help of the rolling pin, roll it out until it is less than a centimeter thick.
Reserve the stretched dough for when to assemble the bread.
To prepare the mashed potatoes
Place the peeled and chopped potato in a pot or saucepan with water and wait for it to boil.
Check if the potato is cooked, poking with a fork to see if the potato is soft.
Drain the potato and remove the rest of the water from the pot.
Place the potato pieces in a bowl and with the help of a fork, mash the potatoes.
Add a couple of tablespoons of mayonnaise and mix with the potatoes to get a homogeneous mixture.
Bread making
Take the most stretched out that you had reserved and spread a generous amount of mozzarella cheese on it until it covers the entire surface of the dough, leaving at least three or four centimeters of space from the edge.
Place two or three tablespoons of the previously reserved mashed potatoes and distribute until it forms a layer that covers the cheese.
Place an additional layer of mozzarella cheese, until it covers the surface or layer of the mashed potatoes.
Pick up one side of the dough and start making wraparound folds to close the dough, so that it looks like a kind of giant dumping.
Subsequently, flatten the closed dough, so that it is perfectly smooth on both sides.
Flour again the flat surface where you knead and flatten again with the help of a rolling pin, but taking care that the filling does not come out. Ideally, the bread should be very thin.
Bread baking
Preheat a skillet over medium heat and grease the entire surface with vegetable oil.
Place the bread on top of the pan and move it a little by hand so that the oil soaks through the bread.
Brush the other side of the bread with unsalted butter.
Let cook for at least 5 to 10 minutes, or until you notice that it is golden on the first end. Flip the bread over and let it cook for the same amount of time on the other side. However, be careful that the bread does not break.
When you notice that the bread is golden brown on both sides, remove it from the pan and place it on a plate to wait for it to cool down a bit.
Finally, cut the bread into pieces and enjoy.
Recommendations and tips for a perfect cheese and potato bread
If you do not have aluminum foil or transparent paper, you can still cover with a kitchen towel and let it sit for an hour and a half.
Another option to prevent the dough from sticking to a flat surface is to place a waxed or butter paper under the dough, to stretch the dough over it.
It is necessary that you roll the bread well and be careful not to leave small holes in the dough, otherwise the cheese will escape while you are cooking the bread in the pan.
If you notice that the cheese escapes while you cook the bread, lower the heat a little and do not let it cook too much on that side. Flip it over and wait for it to harden and turn again to continue cooking on that side over low heat.
If you like, you can add mustard to the potato mixture.
How to preserve this bread?
Due to its content of mozzarella cheese and mashed potatoes with mayonnaise, this is bread that must be consumed in a maximum of 24 hours. You can keep it in this period of time wrapped in a kitchen cloth and stored in the pantry or pantry.
However, when eating it, it is best to heat it in the pan or microwave to keep it fresh.
Cheese bread with potatoes is a perfect dish for a complete and healthy breakfast. It is also ideal for a snack, accompanied by a strong coffee or cappuccino.
