sour cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: plain yogurt

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

butter

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Olive oil is healthier and adds moisture.

cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: cheddar cheese

Nutritional yeast is a dairy-free option.

flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: all-purpose flour

Whole wheat adds fiber and nutrients.

Steam 500 grams of potatoes until soft.

Mash the steamed potatoes in a bowl.

Add 1 kilogram of all-purpose flour and 4 teaspoons of salt to the mashed potatoes; mix well.

In a separate bowl, combine 300 ml of skim milk with 2 teaspoons of instant yeast and mix.

Add the yeast mixture to the potato mixture along with 150 ml of peanut oil and 150 ml of extra virgin olive oil; knead until a dough forms.

Let the dough rest for 30 to 60 minutes until it doubles in size.

Roll the dough into a rectangle and brush it thinly with softened unsalted butter.

Fold the dough like a letter (envelope style) and let it rest for 15 minutes.

Roll the dough out again to the same size and brush with butter; fold again.

Roll the dough flat and cut it into rounds, optionally adding texture if desired.

Brush the tops of the rounds with a beaten egg.

Bake until golden brown.
