- 50 milliliters Water
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a small bowl, combine the chia seeds and water, and let it sit for about 5 minutes until it forms a gel-like consistency.
Step 3
In a large bowl, mix the yuca flour, baking powder, and salt together.
Step 4
In a food processor, grate the queso fresco finely if it isn't already in crumbles.
Step 5
Add the grated cheese and chia seed mixture to the yuca flour mixture.
Step 6
Add the egg and Greek yogurt to the bowl and start mixing the ingredients together with your hands until you form a dough.
Step 7
If the dough seems dry, add a little more Greek yogurt or water, one tablespoon at a time, until it reaches a smooth consistency.
Step 8
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and shape them into balls.
Step 9
Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each.

Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until the bread is golden brown and firm to the touch.
