Bammy Bread  
A Jamaican flatbread that is very similar to a pancake. Bammy bread is made from grated cassava root that is pressed in a cloth to remove the liquid; then it is mixed with salt, formed into a small round shape, and placed on a baking sheet. The cassava is pressed down to decrease the thickness of the bread, which is baked on both sides. The pancake-like bread is turned over once while baking so that it cooks evenly. Bammy bread is most often served as an accompaniment to fried fish or other fried foods and may be referred to as cassava flat bread.
