Mbejú – Paraguayan Cheese Flatbread (Flourless) – Food Wishes ctm magazine
There’s quite the flour shortage going on these days, and the shelves are bare, with one notable exception. Luckily for us, no one is hoarding cassava flour, which is the main ingredient in Mbejú, a truly unique, beautiful, and delicious cheesy Paraguayan flatbread. By the way, you might want to pick up a couple bags, in case this video goes viral.

The other reason no one's buying cassava flour is how expensive it is.
That is surprisingly small pan.
Delcious Food.
That was the strangest looking bite mark at 6:17……..
You just made our day! My boys always complain that nobody knows about Paraguay. And you just made our favorite snack.
You did a great job, they look just like the ones in Paraguay.
As a paraguayan, I couldn't be more thankful for this video!
I was just eating this… how did youtube knew????
I'm sorry but I struggle to even conceive how this could taste good. It looks so dry chalky.
Thank you. Us celiac get classed with the fad people but for us it's a health issue.
Can i substitue with oatmeal flour
This looks and sounds delicious! How can do you store these?
This is closely related to the Pao de Queijo so famous in Brazil, but with less oil and without eggs.
Cassava flour, tapioca starch, and arrow root starch are all the same thing.
In the spirit of full disclosure! Love it ♥️
You can also simply add a thin layer of plain cassava flour into the pan, which will cause the starch to clump up with the heat and form something similar to a dough. It will be tasteless by itself, but you can top it up with things like hazelnut cream, or sweet condensed milk and grated coconut for a quick dessert.
I've never seen this recipe in english before. Nice one! Though I recommend working the flour a bit less; you want to have some loose chunks in there, at least that's how we do it here. Best wishes.
Would this work with corn flour? I know it's not the same thing but it also doesn't have gluten and I currently have plenty of that.
This recipe was such a nice surprise!! I live in Paraguay and I hope to find more of our delicious gastronomy in your channel. Thank you !
we do the same thing in Brazil but with Tapioca flour
The lid was left off after the flip…was that deliberate? Necessary? Optional?
My son is Paraguayan and I am always looking for recipes from Paraguay. Thank you.
Try it with cheese in the middle and fried eggs on the side 👌
sounds like a tapioca with extra steps
Chef John that is the best recipe thank I’m from Paraguay 🇵🇾
Round the outside
Round the outside
Please make a sopa paraguya!
"starting with two consonants is not ideal" the mb is actually a letter in guaraní alphabet! (we officially have two languages here in Paraguay: Spanish and guaraní). Amazing video tho, I love to see Paraguay getting recognition u_u
Nice!

Aside from all the delicious food, recently I am quite impressed with Chef John's ability to refer to the current situation without referring to the current situation.
I was so happy to see this. My favorite Chef making a dish from my homeland. You are the best Chef John,
I was waiting for him to break into an Eminem rap with all the "go round the outsides"
Chef John I like all your recipes I've tried but the bread ones are my FAVORITES! I had tigelle last night for the first time and it was just amazing. Can you post a video how to make that?
Hmmmm. That is how I flip my large Denver omelet to finish the top.
That looks really yummy!
What a voice???!!!😂😂😂
CHEF JOHN I forever have respect for you and your work! I am from Paraguay and nobody knows about my nation or foods and I’m so glad you did this! Hats off! I’m sure you are well traveled man!
This would be great with chili.
Hooray!!! Something a Celiac can make without having to adapt or substitute!! Awesome! Thank you!
Hey chef John. Having a rough mental health day but you’re always a great pick-me-up!!
I lived in Paraguay for 2 years and this was my favorite thing to eat there. Most often I saw native Paraguayans drinking cocido alongside their mbeju (accent on the final syllable).
Thank you for sharing a video on this, as now it makes me more confident in being able to recreate it myself since moving back to the USA.
You could simply add some egg, so it doesn't fall apart and make it much easier to handle 🙂
As a paraguayan i can say with the ingredients that you have over there you make a amazing Job, Google cocido quemado (kind of a tea with yerba mate) and drink with that for breakfast.
My food wish is bigos. Pretty please.
