Ingredients:
300g maize flour (preferably that intended for arepas)
1 tsp salt
100g white cheese, grated
500ml cold water (or more, if needed)
Method:
Combine the flour, salt and cheese in a large bowl then add just enough of the cold water to make a firm (but slightly moist) dough. Cover the bowl and set aside for the dough to rest for 5 minutes).
Divide the dough into 10 pieces and roll these into balls. Flatted each ball slightly then lightly oil a griddle pan and place over medium heat. Once hot cook the arepas on this for about 5 minutes per side, or until a light golden brown curst forms.
Transfer the part-cooked arepas to a baking tray and place in an oven pre-heated to 180 );C. Bake for about 20 minutes, turning them every five minutes or so, until they are cooked through. Serve immediately.
Traditionally these flatbreads are served with a black bean stew.
