Hey, going to make this for a school event, Hope it turn out well, everyone Pray for me. and Thanks @thecookyourself, I hope it go well

[Jojeeh]

do you grease the tin muffins? also, if the bread is not brown and puffy at the time you suggested do you bake it further to achieve what the bread is supposed to look like? i made my first brazilian bread and it puffed up but was extremely dense. am i doing something wrong?

Indeed, you can use tapioca starch as a replacement to mandioc flour.

[AsianIsMe]

wait is it suppose to be mandioc flour or manioc flour?!?!

[AsianIsMe]

so the mandioc flour is a tapioca starch?!?

Hello there,

You cannot substitute the tapioca starch with white flour because the starch enables the bread to grow. It acts like baking powder.

But what you might try is to use less tapioca starch and add mashed potatoes to the dough.

Thanks for your comment.

Cool, can you substitute white flour and corn starch instead of the tapioca starch?
