Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the tapioca flour, low-fat cottage cheese, egg, baking powder, and salt.
Mix the ingredients together using a spoon until the mixture starts to come together.
Knead the dough gently with your hands inside the bowl until it's smooth and all ingredients are well combined.
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball.
Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each one.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 18-20 minutes, or until the bread rolls are puffed and lightly golden on the surface.
Once baked, remove the Pan de Yuca from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy these delicious, low-fat bread rolls as a snack or accompaniment to your meal.
