Cheese Potato Bread in a Frying Pan – No Oven, No Yeast, No Egg Recipe

Discover a delightful and simple way to make cheese potato bread right in your frying pan! This no-oven, no-yeast, and no-egg recipe is perfect for those seeking a quick and tasty bread alternative. Featuring mashed potatoes and mozzarella cheese, this bread is soft on the inside with a crispy, golden exterior. It’s an ideal accompaniment to any meal or a delicious snack on its own.

Ingredients:

• 90g strong flour (bread flour)
• 55g milk (whole milk preferred for richness)
• 10g melted unsalted butter
• A pinch of salt
• 1 medium-sized potato, mashed
• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
• Mozzarella cheese, grated
• Honey (optional, for topping)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, combine the mashed potato, flour, milk, melted butter, and salt. Stir until a soft dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, gradually add a little more flour until it becomes manageable.
2. Add Cheese: Mix most of the grated mozzarella cheese into the dough, reserving a small amount for topping later.
3. Cook the Bread: Heat a lightly oiled frying pan over medium heat. Divide the dough into two equal portions and form them into round patties. Place the patties in the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until each side is golden brown and the bread is cooked through. If the pan becomes too dry, add a small pat of butter.
4. Add Toppings: (Optional) Once the patties are cooked, brush the tops with honey for a touch of sweetness and sprinkle with the reserved cheese. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
5. Serve: Serve the cheese potato bread warm, straight from the pan. Enjoy as a snack, with a soup or salad, or as a side to any main dish.

Tips:

• Type of Milk: You can substitute whole milk with any milk you have on hand; however, whole milk will contribute to a richer flavor.
• Cooking in Batches: Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure the bread cooks evenly. If necessary, cook the patties in batches.
• Baking Option: Although this recipe is designed for a frying pan, you can also bake these patties in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
