    Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
    21            ounces  guava paste
       1/4           cup  Chinese black vinegar
       1/4           cup  Sriracha sauce
    2        tablespoons  salted butter -- at room temperature
    1                cup  yuca flour
    4               cups  queso fresco -- finely grated, (1 lb)
    1              large  egg -- beaten
    1           teaspoon  baking powder
    2        tablespoons  whole milk
    1         tablespoon  unsalted butter -- melted
    1           teaspoon  kosher salt
    1           teaspoon  granulated sugar

The ratio of flour to cheese seems crazy, but it works. Serve the 
bread hot (for a spongy texture) or warm (for a denser interior with 
the dough settling more and forming air pockets). If you like, serve 
it with the spicy-sweet guava-chile butter.


Make the guava-chile butter:
In the bowl of a stand mixer, using the paddle attachment, beat the 
guava paste until it is smooth and has lightened in color. Scrape 
down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula several times. 
Slowly drizzle in the vinegar while mixing on low speed and scrape 
the bowl down again. Add the Sriracha and continue mixing on low. 
Scrape down the sides of the bowl, then beat in the butter. Mix just 
to combine thoroughly.

For the yuca bread
Preheat the oven to 375F. Lightly grease a baking sheet or line it 
with parchment paper.

Combine the flour, cheese, egg, baking powder, milk, butter, salt, 
and sugar in a bowl and knead them together until thoroughly mixed 
and fairly smooth. Form the dough into about 20 round balls. Bake the 
rolls on the baking sheet for 20 minutes or until golden brown. Serve 
warm. To reheat, cover the bread loosely with aluminum foil and heat 
for 6 to 8 minutes in a 200F oven.

make ahead tips
Store the butter in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
