BRAZILIAN TAPIOCA

Brazilian Kitchen Abroad

Brazilian Tapioca are these little tortilla-like flatbreads made with goma de mandioca, or “yuca gum”, which is tapioca starch that’s been hydrated with water. Brazilian Tapioca, which for obvious reasons us Brazilians just call tapioca hahah, is one of our most prized indigenous heritage dishes.

They’re pure chewy yumminess, and can be savory or sweet. Usually topped with simple things like butter, cheese, coconut and condensed milk, or salty Brazilian dry beef. They are deliciosas!!!

1. Get some, Bob's Redmill Tapioca Flour and place it on a dish deep enough to accommodate all the flour plus the water.Get some

make the gum

2. Cover the tapioca with water. The water will bubble as the the tapioca starch starts to absorb it. Wait an hour, or up to overnight, then slowly pour the water out. You'll notice the starch now looks gummy, so we need to dry it.

cover with water

3. Using paper towels, or a clean dish towel, press gently against the gummy paste. I do this a few times, exchanging the paper towels for drier ones.
