Preparation
- In a large bowl, mix yeast, sugar, and warm milk. Stir until the yeast dissolves.
- Gradually add flour and salt. Knead to form a soft, slightly sticky dough.
- Sprinkle flour on a surface and knead the dough for 6-7 minutes until smooth.
- Cover the dough and let it rest for 10 minutes.
- Divide the dough into four equal parts, cover, and rest for another 20 minutes.
- Sprinkle flour on a clean surface and roll out each dough portion thinly.
- Spread softened butter evenly over the rolled-out dough.
- Fold the dough (following visual or written instructions) and lightly brush with oil.
- Repeat with the remaining pieces of dough, layering each piece over the previous one and buttering as you go.
- Cover the dough and chill in the freezer for 25 minutes.
- Thinly slice the potatoes.
- In a bowl, mix the potato slices with cold cream, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
- Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F).
- Roll out the chilled dough thinly and shape as needed. Place it on a lined baking tray.
- Add the potato mixture to the center, spreading it evenly.
- Sprinkle extra salt and black pepper over the filling.
- Brush the edges of the dough with egg yolk for a golden crust.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Remove from the oven, sprinkle grated cheddar cheese on top, and add fresh rosemary if desired.
- Return to the oven for another 8-10 minutes until the cheese melts and bubbles.
- Slice while hot and serve. Enjoy the crispy, flaky layers paired with the creamy potato and cheese filling!
