Steps:
- Mix water, corn meal, mozzarella cheese, butter, and salt together in a large bowl. Knead until mixed well and the dough has a soft consistency. Form balls the size of a medium orange and place them between 2 sheets of plastic wrap. Flatten with a rolling pin to your desired thickness.
- Cut the dough into circles using a cereal bowl or drinking glass, lip-down, through the plastic wrap. Remove the plastic wrap and remove excess dough.
- Coat a griddle with cooking spray and heat to medium-high. Add arepas and grill until golden brown, about 5 minutes per side. Serve immediately.

HOMEMADE AREPAS
It was at a New York City hole-in-the-wall eatery where I first fell in love with a stuffed white corn cake. Halfway through my first arepa, one stuffed with black beans, beef, plantains, and salty cheese, I vowed to learn how to make these at home. It's a truly magnificent delivery system for any number of your favorite fillings. I went with some spicy pork and avocado, but I made a version a few days later stuffed with caramelized plantains and salty goat feta.

Steps:
- Stir water and salt together in a bowl. Gradually stir corn meal into water with your fingers until mixture forms a soft, moist, malleable dough.
- Divide dough into 8 golf ball-size balls and pat each one into a patty about 3/8-inch thick.
- Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Working in batches, cook corn patties in hot oil until golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer cooked arepas to a paper towel-lined plate to drain until cool enough to handle.
- Slice halfway through each cake horizontally with a thin serrated knife to form a pita-like pocket.

Steps:
- Bring milk to a simmer in a pot. Remove from heat and stir in butter.
- Combine arepas flour, grated Monterey Jack cheese, kosher salt, and black pepper in a large bowl. Add the hot milk mixture and honey; stir until combined. Let mixture sit until milk is absorbed enough for a soft dough to form, 1 to 2 minutes. Dough will continue to stiffen.
- Form dough into 12 balls about 2 inches in diameter. Flatten between palms into 3 1/2- to 4-inch arepa patties about 1/3-inch thick.
- Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Fry 3 to 4 arepas at a time until lightly golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. Slice each arepa in half crosswise and stuff a portion of chicken, sliced Monterey Jack cheese, and avocado between the halves.

VENEZUELAN AREPAS
The way we make traditional Venezuelan arepas in our house. Every Venezuelan family has their own way of making it. You can skip the griddle/oven steps if you have a "Tostiarepa" (think panini press for arepas) but since my husband thinks it's sacrilegious, we do it this way. We'll start with the measurement recommendations on the back of that ubiquitous yellow bag of "Harina P.A.N" but please note that these are just suggestions and you need to make sure you have the right consistency above all. Buen provecho!

Steps:
- Pre heat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Lightly grease and heat flat griddle or frying pan on medium high.
- Add water to a medium bowl.
- Dissolve sugar and salt in water. You want a mild flavor, not too salty but enough to taste it.
- Add the Harina P.A.N little by little as you mix with your hands.
- Stop adding the corn meal just before the mix becomes solid. It should be the consistency of a thick pancake batter at this stage.
- Continue to stir vigorously with your hands until the dough starts to pull away from the sides of the bowl and forms a very soft ball. Sprinkle additional corn meal into the mix if the dough doesn't firm up at all.
- Pick up the dough and slap it down back into the bowl a few times to speed up the process. Note: the dough should never become as firm as a ball of bread dough or pizza dough. There is no real kneading involved.
- When the dough forms a nice, moist ball, break off a small piece and work it in your hands rolling it into a small ball (about 1-2 inches) and then gently flattening it so it is about 3 inches across and 1/2inch tall. Note: if the dough cracks on the edges when you flatten it, it is too dry. Wet your hands and try again.
- Place the arepa on the preheated griddle and continue forming the rest in the same manner.
- Flip the arepas just before they are about to burn, when the bottom is golden brown. Allow them to brown on the other side.
- At this point the arepas are done, but for an added touch of authenticity, place the arepas into the preheated over directly onto the racks and allow them to bake for 10-15 minutes or until they puff up.
- Slice open and fill with butter, cheese, meat or anything else!

- Prepare the filling. To make the arepa filling, squeeze the avocado with your hands to mash it but leave some bits and pieces. Then, blend all the filling ingredients together to combine.
- Mix the salt and dry precooked cornmeal. Mix the salt into the dry precooked cornmeal. Use your hands here! There is no a set rule for how to make the masa—some people add the water first, but I add the salt.
- Add warm water. Slowly, add 2-1/2 cups of warm water to the cornmeal while mixing with your hand. In order to prevent lumps, keep mixing for 3 to 4 minutes.
- Knead the dough. Once you have a dough, knead for about 3 to 4 more minutes.
- Form a smooth ball. Shape the dough into a ball. Cover it with plastic wrap, cheesecloth or a clean, damp towel and let it rest for about 5 minutes.
- Form smaller dough balls. Pull off pieces of the larger ball to form smaller balls. For each arepa, you want a ball that weighs 5 to 5-1/2 ounces.
- Flatten the arepa. In order to prevent the dough from sticking to your hands, use the reserved water to wet your hands lightly. Flatten the ball of masa between the palms of your hands until it reaches the desired thickness of 1/2 to 3/4 inches all around.
- Grill the arepas. Place the arepas on a preheated and lightly greased grill pan on medium heat. Cook for about 7 to 8 minutes on each side, turning the arepa a few times carefully with a spatula to cook evenly until they are golden brown and puffy.
- Assemble the arepa. As soon as the arepas are cooked, stuff them and eat them! It’s when they are at their best—crispy, warm and delicious. To start, place the arepa on a clean kitchen towel.

- In a large bowl, combine the Masarapa, water, and salt until fully combined. Pack the mixture together and allow it to rest for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat a large castiron skillet with vegetable oil.
- Measure out 1/4 cup-sized portions and roll into a ball with your hands, then gently press and shape them into discs that are about 1/2 inch thick.
- Place the discs in the hot oil and allow them to cook over low heat until they begin to turn golden brown/black. Flip and repeat, adding additional oil as needed so they don't stick.
- If you want to slice them in half, you'll want to bake them for about 10 minutes at 350F on a large baking sheet. Enjoy hot.

- 2. Add masarepa ½ cup at a time, whisking constantly (but gently) to incorporate. When all the flour has been added, the dough should have a soft, supple texture that holds together when pressed. If it seems too dry, add more warm water, a tablespoon at a time.
- 4. Portion the arepa dough into 16 even pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and then press down lightly with your palm to form into discs.
