Bammy is a traditional Jamaican bread with Taíno roots, made by squeezing grated cassava thoroughly, shaping it into thin rounds and frying it in a pan. Removing all the excess liquid helps the bread hold together. It is usually served with grilled fish, but can also be enjoyed without fish.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Squeeze the cassava

15 min

Place the grated cassava in a clean cloth and squeeze firmly by hand to remove all the liquid.

2

Shape the bread

10 min

Mix the squeezed cassava with salt and shape into thin, round loaves.

3

Cook

12 min

Heat the sunflower oil in a pan and cook the loaves until golden and crisp on both sides.

4

Serve

3 min

Serve hot, alongside grilled fish if you like.

Reminder

Squeeze the grated cassava thoroughly in a cloth. If too much liquid remains, the bread will fall apart in the pan.
