About Chipa Mestizo

Ana María Gómez Silgueira's chipa mestizo combines cassava starch and corn flour with aged Paraguay cheese. Eggs, milk and pork fat enrich the dough, while crushed anise seeds give it an aromatic note.

The fat is beaten until creamy before the eggs are added. Cheese and corn flour follow, then cassava starch and milk bring the mixture together into a dough.

After resting, the dough is kneaded and shaped into chipas. The pieces bake on banana leaves in a hot oven, with the cheese distributed throughout the bread.
