Description

Easy to make snack Brazilian bread with sweet potato, cassava flour and extra virgin olive oil.


Ingredients

  • 425g cassava flour
  • 425g cooked sweet potato (baked or boiled)
  • 150 ml extra virgin olive oil (10, 11 tablespoons, 0.63 cups)
  • 150 ml room temperature water (10, 11 tablespoons, 0.63 cups
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt 
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400F.
  2. Combine the sweet potato, extra virgin olive oil, water, salt, and turmeric in a food processor until creamy. 
  3. Transfer to a big mixing bowl and start adding cassava flour, at first mix with a spatula, and when it gets hard start kneading with your hands. Keep adding cassava flour and knead for a few minutes. You will get a dough that is elastic, homogeneous, with a consistency similar to playdough. 
  4. Split the dough into halved, then quarters, and continue until you get small balls about the size of a golf ball.  
  5. Arrange them on a baking sheet (no oil needed) and bake for about 30 minutes at 400F. 
  6. Eat fresh or freeze. To reheat take out of the freezer and insert into the hot oven (400F) for a few minutes. 
  7. You can also freeze the dough but I prefer to freeze them cooked and reheat. They’ll be as good as fresh.
