🍠 Cassava Pocket Breads
Golden and chewy breakfast buns made with fermented yuca starch, no gluten, just flavor and a perfect crust from the air fryer.
📝 Ingredients (1 flat bread for 2 people)
120 g sour cassava starch (fermented cassava/manioc starch for that cheese-like taste or just regular manioc starch both work)
2 small eggs (≈ 94 g total)
1 level tsp baking powder (≈ 5 g)
1 tsp garlic powder (≈ 3 g)
1 tsp dried oregano (≈ 1 g)
1 tsp salt (≈ 5 g)
30 ml water
🍳 Instructions
1. Mix the dry base
In a bowl, whisk together the cassava starch, baking powder, garlic powder, oregano, and salt.
2. Add wet ingredients
Crack in the eggs.
Mix untila soft, slightly sticky dough forms.
Add the water slowly while mixing until fluid.
3. Prepare the air fryer
Line the basket with a round parchment paper cup (air fryer-safe and deep enough to hold liquid).
Pour in the batter and gently tap the basket so it spreads evenly.
4. Bake in the air fryer
Preheat air fryer to 180 °C.
Bake for 25 minutes total.
At minute 15, gently flip (without the parchment paper) the tortilla-like result so it gets cooked both sides .
5. Rest & serve
Let rest inside the fryer for 2–3 minutes after turning off the heat.
Cut the tortilla in half along the diameter, then gently open each half to form a pocket, like a pita bread.
Fill with your desired ingredients.
🌿 Kuisit Tip
Use sour (azedo) cassava starch for that traditional chewy texture besides cheese like aroma and flavor, it's easier to digest and naturally gluten-free.
