Method:

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F/200°C/gas 6. Oil a baking sheet.

2. Mix the cornmeal, cheese, salt and enough water in a large bowl to make a soft dough.

3. Knead for 2-3 minutes until smooth. Cover the dough with a kitchen cloth and let rise for 5 minutes. Brush a griddle or cost-iron frying pan over medium heat.

4. Cook the dough in the frying pan for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the south American cornmeal bread are soft inside but have formed a golden crust on the outside. While cooking, keep separating the south American cornmeal bread from the griddle or pan, or they will stick.
