The versatility of breadfruit makes cooking and baking with it, whether sweet or savoury, an engaging and rewarding experience. You can make the same dish, fiddle with the ingredients or cooking technique and be pleasantly surprised by the results. For example, Breadfruit Pie.
Back in 2015, I wrote about making a Breadfruit Pie. It was more like Shepherd’s Pie meets Breadfruit Pie as I replaced the mashed English potatoes with cheesy, herby mashed breadfruit and sandwiched the meat filling between two generous layers of the mashed breadfruit. It was a favourite among readers. That was my experiment. However, over the years, I have seen many other takes on Breadfruit Pie from around the region; all very inviting and appealing. Before I go on, let me confess something about me and breadfruit.
