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
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- 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.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1/4 cup of melted butter, and 1/2 cup of milk until fully combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir until everything is well incorporated. The dough should be slightly sticky.
- 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.
- Divide the dough into 12 equal portions and roll each portion into a small ball, about the size of a golf ball.
- Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced apart to allow for expansion while baking.
- 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.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. These are best enjoyed warm!
