Servings: 12

Ingredients

Yuca flour
2 cups
Shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup
Grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup
Salt
1/2 teaspoon
Milk
1/2 cup
Melted butter
1/4 cup
Eggs
2 large

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of yuca flour, 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese, 1 cup of grated Parmesan cheese, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Mix well to ensure the cheeses are evenly distributed throughout the flour.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1/4 cup of melted butter, and 1/2 cup of milk until fully combined.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir until everything is well incorporated. The dough should be slightly sticky.
  5. Knead the dough with your hands for about 2-3 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more yuca flour until you reach the desired consistency.
  6. Divide the dough into 12 equal portions and roll each portion into a small ball, about the size of a golf ball.
  7. Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced apart to allow for expansion while baking.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the Pan de Yuca are golden brown and crispy on the outside. Keep an eye on them to avoid burning.
  9. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. These are best enjoyed warm!
