PAN DE YUCA (YUCA BREAD)

Steps:

• Add 1 cup yuca flour plus the baking powder to the food processor bowl. Pulse a few times.
• Add the eggs and crumbled cheese and process until the dough forms a ball. If the dough is too wet, sprinkle in a little more flour a tablespoon at a time; if it is too dry, add a teaspoon or two of milk.
• Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and divide into four equal pieces. Lightly shape the first piece with your hands and then cut into four pieces. Roll each small piece into a small rope and then shape into a crescent. Place the crescents on the prepared pan. Continue with the remaining dough. You will have 16 crescents on the pan.
• Cover with a flour sack towel and allow to rest in a warm place for 30 minutes.
• While the dough is resting, preheat the oven to 375 F.
• Bake the rolls on the top rack for about 20 minutes, until lightly browned. Serve warm.

YUCCA BUNS (PAN DE YUCCA)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking pan with aluminum foil, and coat with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
• Combine the tapioca flour and baking powder together in a large bowl. Stir in the cheese and egg yolks. Mix until the dough forms a ball. Lightly flour a work surface and turn the dough out. Knead the dough with your hands until the dough is smooth, even-textured, and not sticky. If the dough doesn't come together or seems too stiff, then add cream, 1 tablespoon at a time, until it comes together and feels supple.
• Divide the dough into 10 even pieces and with your hands, roll each into a ball. Shape the balls into ovals and place them 1-inch apart on the prepared baking sheet. Bake until the rolls are pale gold (not browned), about 15 to 20 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for 5 to 10 minutes and serve while still warm. Serve with Pineapple Marmalade, if desired.
• Combine the pineapple, sugar, orange zest, orange juice, lemon zest, lemon juice and jalapenos in medium saucepan.
• Bring mixture to a rapid boil over high heat, stirring frequently. Lower heat to medium and continue to cook for 15 minutes, stirring often to prevent scorching.
• Remove from heat and cool before serving.
• Store in refrigerator for up to 1 month or in the freezer for 6 months.
