Ingredients

  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp. kosher salt, plus more
  • 5 large eggs
  • 6 tbsp. puck cream cheese spread or softened cream cheese

Preparation

Step 1

In a large bowl, stir the flour with 1 teaspoon salt and 2 cups water until smooth. Cover the bowl with a damp towel and let stand for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, whisk the eggs together in a small bowl and season with salt.

Heat a large cast-iron griddle over medium-high. Place 1⁄2 cup of the dough in the center of the griddle, and working quickly, use a dough scraper to spread the dough out into a thin 12-inch circle. Spread about 1 tablespoon of the cheese and 1⁄4 cup of the beaten eggs over the dough, leaving about a 1-inch border, and cook until the bread is set, 1 to 2 minutes. Fold the circle in half and transfer to a cutting board. Cut the bread into pieces and serve immediately. Repeat cooking with the remaining dough, cheese, and egg to make 4 more breads.
