Romanian Placinta | How to make Romanian Potato Stuffed Flatbread

Ingredients

• 1 cup All Purpose Flour
• 1/2 cup Buttermilk
• 1/4 cup Water
• 1/4 tsp Baking Soda
• 1 tsp Salt
• Salted Butter (for cooking)
• 1 Large Potato
• Salted Butter

Instructions

1. 1

   --- Prepare the Filling ---

2. 2

   Microwave the potato for 6 mins. Soak in water and peel. Mash when it is still hot with salted butter. Keep it aside.

3. 3

   --- Preparing the Dough ---

4. 4

   Take flour, salt and baking soda in a large bowl. Whisk well to combine. Mix buttermilk and water together.

5. 5

   Now, slowly add the liquid to the flour mix and start kneading. The dough will be pretty messy to start with.

6. 6

   Knead on the dough till it becomes pliable and easy to handle. Let the dough rest for 30 minutes.

7. 7

   Flour the work surface generously, divide the dough into 5 portions. Take a portion of dough and roll it out into a circle of 5 - 6 inches.

8. 8

   Keep 2 tbsp of stuffing in the center of the rolled dough. Bring the edges together and close and roll it again to form a circle. Be gentle while rolling, ensuring the stuffing doesn't come out.

9. 9

   Heat a nonstick pan, grease with butter, place the stuffed placinta on the hot pan, and cook for a minute or until the sides are brown. Flip and cook the other side until brown.

10. 10

    Serve hot with cream cheese or as I did with garlic mayo.
