Chipa Jazmín
Chipa Jazmín is a variation of Paraguayan chipa, the country’s iconic gluten-free cheese bread. This version is made with yuca starch, self-rising flour, Queso Paraguay, pork fat, and eggs. What sets it apart is its lighter, softer texture, achieved by using less yuca starch than other types of chipa.
Ingredientes
- 250 g Tapioca starch
- 250 g self-raising flour
- 2 large eggs , room temperature
- 80 g butter softened to room temperature
- 300 g Mexican blend or any semi-soft cheese , shredded
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon anise seeds
- 177 ml (6 oz) buttermilk or whole milk, room temperature , adjust as needed
Instrucciones
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 13x18x1-inch baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In an extra-large bowl, combine the tapioca starch, self-rising flour, and baking powder.
- Rub the anise seeds between your palms to release their aroma, then stir them into the dry mixture.
- Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Add the softened butter and eggs into the well, then cream them together with your fingers. Try to make the mixture as smooth and creamy as possible without incorporating too much of the tapioca mixture just yet.
- Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until a coarse, crumbly dough forms.
- Add the shredded or crumbled cheese and mix until evenly distributed.
- Slowly pour in the buttermilk or milk, just enough to bring the dough together. Knead by hand until the dough is smooth and homogenous. It should feel like soft playdough when ready.
- Note: You may not need all the liquid. If the dough becomes too soft, add a bit more tapioca starch.
- Cover the dough with a clean kitchen towel and let it rest for 15–20 minutes.
- Divide the dough into 12 equal portions (about 92 g each) and roll each into a ball.
- Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheet. Gently press each one with three fingers to slightly flatten.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes or until the chipa buns are puffed and golden brown.
- Let cool for a few minutes before serving.
