PAN DE YUCA (COLOMBIAN CHEESE BREAD)

Another recipe I want to save before I try it. This recipe is said to be a very popular one in the Columbian city of Cali where the rolls can be purchased in most bakeries. It requires the purchase of yuca harina, or tapioca starch, somewhere that sells Latin American products. It sounds like it might be a bit like a cheesy unstuffed cream puff but....If you try it before I do, please let me know how it turned out. The recipe came from the December 1986 Bon Appetit and was sent in by a reader who got it from a Colombian friend. (The earlier spelling mistake in the title must be because I live in British Columbia, not British Colombia!)

Yield Makes about 20 little rolls

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup yuca flour
1 lb queso fresco, finely grated (about 4 cups)
1 large egg, beaten
1 tsp baking powder
2 Tbsp whole milk
1 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted
1 tsp kosher salt
1 tsp granulated sugar
Guava-Chile Butter (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
  • Combine the flour, cheese, egg, baking powder, milk, butter, salt, and sugar in a bowl and knead them together until thoroughly mixed and fairly smooth. Form the dough into about 20 round balls. Bake the rolls on the baking sheet for 20 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm. To reheat, cover the bread loosely with aluminum foil and heat for 6 to 8 minutes in a 200°F oven.

Tips:

  • Use the freshest ingredients possible, especially the cheese. Fresh cheese will melt better and give the bread a more flavorful taste.
  • Make sure the water is boiling before adding the tapioca flour. This will help the flour to gelatinize and give the bread its characteristic chewy texture.
  • Be careful not to overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the bread tough.
  • If you don't have a cheese grater, you can use a food processor to grate the cheese.
  • Pan de yuca can be served warm or at room temperature. It is best eaten the same day it is made.

Conclusion:

Pan de yuca is a delicious and easy-to-make Colombian cheese bread. It is a popular snack or breakfast food and can be served with a variety of dipping sauces. With its unique chewy texture and cheesy flavor, pan de yuca is a surefire hit with people of all ages. So next time you're looking for a tasty and satisfying snack, give pan de yuca a try.
