Colombian Cheese Bread (Pandebono)

Pandebono, or pan de bono, is a delicious cheese bread, perfect for breakfast or an afternoon snack with coffee. It's a simple recipe made with cheese and two kinds of flour—tapioca flour (cassava or yuca starch) and cornmeal. The precooked cornmeal called masarepa used to make arepas works well, as does regular cornmeal. You can even order a special mix for making these rolls called harina de pandebono.

1 cup yellow masarepa, or cooked cornmeal

½ cup tapioca flour

2 teaspoons granulated sugar

2 cups grated farmers cheese, or Monterey jack or mozzarella

2 large eggs

Kosher salt, to taste

3 teaspoons milk, or buttermilk, optional
