Method

Preparing the Roasted Red Peppers

  1. 1

    Roast the Peppers

    Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Place the red bell peppers on a baking sheet and drizzle them with olive oil and a sprinkle of salt.

  2. 2

    Bake

    Roast the peppers in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, turning occasionally, until the skins are blistered and charred.

  3. 3

    Cool and Peel

    Remove the peppers from the oven and place them in a bowl. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let them steam for about 10 minutes. Once cooled, peel off the skins and remove the seeds. Slice the roasted peppers and set aside.

Making the Dough

  1. 4

    Prepare the Dough

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the yuca flour, salt, and grated cheese. Mix well to combine the dry ingredients.

  2. 5

    Add Wet Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and water. Gradually add this mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until a smooth dough forms.

  3. 6

    Incorporate Roasted Peppers

    Fold the sliced roasted red peppers into the dough until evenly distributed.

  2. 8

    Shape the Bread

    Scoop out portions of the dough and shape them into small balls or patties, about the size of a golf ball. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.

  3. 9

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and slightly puffed.
