Instructions

  1. 1 Combine cassava flour, salt, cayenne, butter, and Cheddar cheese in a large bowl by rubbing the mixture between your fingertips until it resembles large, coarse crumbs. Drizzle in milk and continue mixing and rubbing with your hands until the mixture resembles very small pebbles and is moist enough to hold together in large clumps when squeezed tightly together; add more milk if needed.
  2. 2 Place a small (6-inch) dry, nonstick pan over medium-high heat until hot, about 2 minutes. Transfer in a heaping 1/2 cup cassava mixture or enough to cover the bottom of the pan. The mixture should be 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch deep. Press the top of the mixture down slightly to settle and use a spatula to go around the edges of the mixture, pressing any loose crumbs back into the flatbread.
  3. 3 Cover and cook until the bottom is golden brown, a crust forms under the flatbread, and a spatula can be slid underneath, about 3 minutes. Turn over with a combination of tossing the pan up slightly while flipping with the spatula. You can also place a plate over the pan, then invert the flatbread and slide it back into the pan. Cook the other side until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes more. Remove from heat and let rest for 2 minutes before serving warm.

  1. 1 Stir olive oil and garlic together in a small bowl until combined. Let sit at room temperature until flavors are infused, about 3 hours.
  2. 2 Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat.
  3. 3 Place bread cubes in a large bowl. Pour garlic oil through a strainer onto bread; toss until bread is evenly coated with oil. Add 1/2 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, Italian seasoning, paprika, black pepper, salt, and cayenne pepper; toss to coat. Spread bread cubes out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  4. 4 Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Turn croutons and bake for 15 minutes more. Push croutons together with a spatula to form a compact rectangle on the baking sheet. Sprinkle remaining 1/4 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese over the top. Continue baking until cheese is melted and croutons are crunchy, 10 to 15 minutes more.

Instructions

  1. 1 Pour warm milk into a bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook. Sprinkle yeast on top and let dissolve until a few small bubbles begin to a form, 10 to 15 minutes.
  2. 2 Add 2 3/4 cups flour, softened butter, beaten egg, sugar, vinegar, salt, and baking soda. Knead on low speed until the dough begins to come together, adding up to 1/4 cup more flour if needed. Increase the speed slightly and knead for about 3 more minutes. Use a spatula to scrape the sides clean and gather the dough into the center. Cover and let rise until doubled in volume, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
  3. 3 Butter a spatula and a 9x5-inch loaf pan. Scrape the dough into the prepared loaf pan using the spatula. Smooth out the top to distribute the dough evenly. Dust the top with 1 tablespoon flour and press gently to even out the dough. Let rise in the pan for 30 minutes.
  4. 4 Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  5. 5 Use a sharp knife or razor to cut a deep slash lengthwise through the center of the loaf; you may need to go over it several times. Brush the top with most of the melted butter.
  6. 6 Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 30 minutes.
  7. 7 Remove from the oven and brush hot loaf with the remaining butter. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack to cool for at least 1 hour before slicing.
