Kosher salt
2 cups pre-cooked white corn meal, such as P.A.N.
4 ounces part-skim mozzarella, cut into 8 cubes

3. Divide the dough into 8 golf ball-size balls and pat each into a patty about 5-inches wide and 1/4-inch-thick.
4. Put a cube of mozzarella in the center of each patty. Fold the dough over the cheese, making sure the cheese is completely covered and sealed. Pat it back down until 3-inches wide and 1/2-inch-thick (see Cook's Note). Read More…
