Have you ever seen a balloon magically inflate in a pan? With balloon bread, it’s possible! Few ingredients, but a truly surprising result. You’ll get these puffy pockets to fill as you like. I choose prosciutto, mozzarella, and tomato, but you can freely experiment and stuff them as you prefer. Ideal when you have unexpected guests for dinner and want to prepare something really quick and delicious. Try it and let me know if you like it.
