Chipa with Ricotta Cheese
Report
Think of this Chipa with Ricotta Cheese as the Italian cousin of Paraguayan Chipa. While testing this recipe, I had a container of ricotta in my refrigerator that I wanted to use up.
Adding ricotta to the dough transformed it into a delicious cheesy bread. The result is a perfect blend of a golden, crispy exterior with a soft, tender interior.
Ricotta Chipa is the perfect snack or accompaniment to any meal. Enjoy them warm from the oven or at room temperature—they're sure to become a new favorite.

Ingredients
- 500 g yuca starch
- 100 g butter unsalted
- 300 g ricotta cheese
- 1-½ teaspoons kosher salt to taste
- 1-½ teaspoons baking powder , optional
- 3 large egg
- 100 g Semi-hard cheese optional (I personally like to add a touch of grated Parmesan or Grana Padano or Mexican cheese blend for an extra boost of flavor, or hard cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 500°F (260°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or grease it with oil.
- In a large bowl, combine the yuca starch, salt, and baking powder. Make a well in the center and add the softened butter and eggs. Cream the butter and eggs together until smooth.
- Add the ricotta cheese and semi-hard cheese (if using). Mix well until the mixture is homogeneous. If the dough is too soft, add more starch until it is moldable.
- Knead the dough and form small balls, about 50 g each. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake until the balls are lightly golden brown, about 15 to 20 minutes.
