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!)

  • Rolls can be covered and refrigerated at this point up to 2 weeks.
  • Preheat oven to 550ºF and arrange rolls on baking sheets. (The recipe doesn't say if they are to be greased or not so maybe I'll use parchment paper just in case.).

Time 40m

Yield 15 small rolls

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup yellow cornmeal, precooked (This is called Masarepa, which is not recognized here, see description for more detail)
1/2 cup tapioca flour (cassava, yuca)
2 cups farmer's cheese, grated (or queso fresco)
2 eggs
2 teaspoons sugar
salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Mix the two flours and the sugar in a bowl.
  • Stir in the grated cheese and the eggs. Mix well with a wooden spoon. Taste for salt, and add salt as needed. (Some farmer's cheeses are saltier than others).
  • Knead dough until smooth. If the dough seems too dry, add a few teaspoons of water.
  • Roll dough into balls that are slightly larger than golf balls. Or shape dough into small bagels. The rolls do not have to be perfectly smooth - they will puff up in the last several minutes of baking.
  • Place rolls on a greased cookie sheet and bake, about 20 minutes or until golden in color and puffed.
  • Serve warm.

Tips:

  • Make sure the yuca is cooked thoroughly before mashing it. This will ensure that the bread has a smooth and consistent texture.
  • If you don't have a yuca grater, you can use a food processor to grate the yuca.
  • Be careful not to overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the bread tough.
  • If the dough is too sticky, add more tapioca flour.
  • If the dough is too dry, add more water.
  • Be careful when frying the bread. The oil should be hot enough to prevent the bread from sticking, but not so hot that it burns.
  • Serve the bread warm with your favorite dipping sauce.

Conclusion:

Pan de Yuca is a delicious and easy-to-make Colombian cheese bread. It is a popular snack or breakfast food, and it can be served with a variety of dipping sauces. This recipe is a great way to introduce Colombian cuisine to your friends and family.
