In a large mixing bowl, combine the precooked cornmeal with the salt. Add the cheese and toss to coat. Add a cup and a half of water and mix to form a dough. It shouldn’t be tacky. If it’s too dry, add more water until it reaches a play-dough consistency and doesn’t crack with you flatten a ball of dough.

Let rest for 5 minutes.

Portion into 10 and roll into balls.

Push an indent in the center and add more cheese if using. Push the dough over the top of the cheese, sealing it in the center. Roll into a tight ball and then flatten into a half-inch disc. Repeat for the rest of the dough and cheese.
