Preparation
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm milk, warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy, indicating the yeast is active.
- Beat the eggs lightly and add them to the yeast mixture along with the salt.
- Gradually add flour, mixing continuously until a soft dough forms. You might need slightly more or less flour based on humidity and egg size.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
- While the dough is rising, heat some olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the chopped bell pepper and tomato until soft.
- In a large bowl, mix the sautéed vegetables with the mashed potatoes, grated cheese, and cottage cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside to cool.
- Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into two equal parts. Roll each part into a large circle or rectangle on a lightly floured surface.
- Spread the vegetable and cheese filling evenly over one of the dough sheets, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Cover with the second sheet of dough, and pinch the edges to seal them together.
- Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F).
- Place the stuffed dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the top with olive oil or a beaten egg for a golden finish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.
- Let the bread cool slightly before cutting into slices. Serve warm.
