What is this British dish?

Stottie cake, also known simply as stottie, is a traditional bread originating from the North East of England, particularly around Newcastle and Durham. It is a flat, round bread with a dense texture and a slight chewiness, typically made from flour, yeast, water, and salt. Stottie cakes are distinctive for their thickness and lack of a crust on the top and bottom surfaces, which sets them apart from typical bread loaves. They are often baked on a griddle or stovetop, resulting in a soft and sturdy bread that is perfect for holding hearty fillings like ham, pease pudding, or bacon. Stottie cakes are a cherished part of Geordie (Newcastle) cuisine and are enjoyed sliced and filled with various savory ingredients, reflecting their role as a substantial and flavorful local specialty.
