Pan de yuca is a ring-shaped bread served at Colombian breakfast tables, made by mashing leftover boiled yuca and kneading it with cheese and cassava starch. It is a practical way to use leftover boiled yuca from the day before. Fresh from the oven, it is crisp outside with a chewy, cheesy center.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Mash the Yuca

8 min

Mash the leftover boiled yuca with a fork until smooth, removing any fibrous parts.

2

Knead the Dough

10 min

Combine the mashed yuca with the grated cheese, butter, egg, salt, and cassava starch. Knead until you have an elastic dough.

3

Shape the Rolls

7 min

Divide the dough into eight pieces and roll each into a thin rope. Join the ends to form small rings.

4

Bake

25 min

Arrange the rings on a parchment-lined baking pan. Bake in an oven preheated to 190°C / 375°F for 25 minutes, until puffed and golden.

Reminder

Add the cassava starch a little at a time. Too much can make the dough crumbly and cause the bread to crack while baking. Allergen: contains dairy and eggs.
