Tips for the best Cassava bread

Taste as you go. Seasoning at the end is fine, but adjusting halfway through gives a more balanced result.
Rest the finished dish for a few minutes before serving — it lets the flavours settle and the texture firm up.
Read the whole method before you start and measure out the 4 ingredients first — it keeps the pace relaxed once the heat is on.

Variations

Spicier version: add a pinch of chilli flakes or a sliced fresh chilli with the aromatics.
Vegetable boost: stir in a handful of spinach, peas or diced peppers in the last few minutes of cooking.
Individual portions: divide into ramekins or a muffin tin and reduce the baking time by about a third.

Serving ideas

Works well as a starter with warm bread.

Storage

Best eaten fresh. Leftovers keep covered in the fridge for 2 days; reheat in a hot pan or oven rather than the microwave to bring the crispness back.
