The Filling
9 ounces buffalo mozzarella cheese
9 ounces cream cheese
1 egg

3Prepare the filling. Grate the mozzarella and then mix with the cream cheese. Add the egg and butter and process into a smooth, glutinous mixture using either a hand mixer or a wooden spoon.
4Season with salt, if needed, and divide into 4 balls.
5Shape the dough into 4 balls also and roll these out to form 8 inch circles.
6Put the cheese filling balls into each dough circle and bring the edges of the dough circle up and over to seal. (Example.like an omelet or a calzone) Press firmly to seal.
7Carefully press the dough flat into a circular shape until each will fill a large skillet.
8Fry individually in hot butter, covered, before turning them and frying the other side, uncovered.
9Cut each flat loaf into 4 portions and serve hot.
