Yucca Buns Recipes

YUCCA BUNS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°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.

GRATIN YUCCA

Steps:

• Mix all the ingredients together and season with salt and pepper. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 20 minutes.

BAKED YUCCA ROLLS WITH CHEESE

Steps:

• Boil the yuca in water until soft and add salt. Drain and mash well.
• Slowly mix in the milk making a slightly soft paste.
• Add the butter, eggs, and baking powder.
• Flatten the mashed yucca paste into sheets. Cut the cheese into long strips and place in the middle of each sheet.
• Roll the sheets into small wraps filled with cheese.
• Bake at 300 degrees Fahrenheit for 40 minutes.

CUBAN-STYLE YUCA

Steps:

• Place the yuca into a pan and fill with enough water to cover. Stir in salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, cover, and cook until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain, and place yucca on a serving plate.
• Meanwhile, place the olive oil, onion, garlic, and lemon juice into a pan. Cook over medium heat about 5 minutes. Pour the hot olive oil mixture over the yuca, and serve immediately.

SWEDISH ST. LUCIA BUNS

Steps:

• Heat milk in a small saucepan over medium heat just until bubbles form around the edge of the pan, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat. Add sugar, butter, salt, and saffron, stirring until butter is melted. Let cool to lukewarm temperature, about 2 minutes.
• Sprinkle yeast over warm water in large bowl, stirring until dissolved. Stir in milk mixture and 3 1/2 cups flour until smooth, about 2 minutes. Stir in eggs. Add remaining flour gradually, mixing in the last by hand until dough leaves the sides of the bowl and is very soft.
• Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Cover with a bowl and let rest for 10 minutes.
• Knead dough with additional flour as needed, about 5 minutes. Place dough in a lightly greased large bowl; flip dough to grease both sides. Cover with a towel and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, 60 to 90 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.
• Punch down dough. Take golf ball-sized bits of dough and roll out into snakes. Roll each end in opposite directions to create 'S' forms. Place buns on the prepared baking sheets.
• Combine egg yolk and water in a bowl with a whisk. Brush over buns.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 6 minutes. Remove from the oven, leaving oven on. Quickly place 1 raisin in the center of each 'S' curve.
• Return to the oven and continue to bake until golden and cooked through, about 6 minutes more. Let cool on a wire rack before serving.
