Gluten-Free Brazilian Cheese Bread

Ingredients

• 1/3 cup vegetable oil
• 1/2 cup water
• 1/2 cup whole milk
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 2 cups tapioca flour
• 1 large egg (at room temperature)
• 1 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. 2

   In a pan over medium heat, combine oil, water, milk, and salt. Simmer the mixture. Then, let cool down a little bit.

3. 3

   Pour warm mixture over the tapioca flour in a large bowl, mixing well with a wooden spoon. Then, wait for the dough cool down. Add the egg and knead well with hands.

4. 4

   Add the cheese and mix well. The more homogeneous the dough, the better -- but also the more difficult to roll. Let rest for about 15 minutes at room temperature.

5. 5

   Grease your hands with oil before rolling into balls. Use a tablespoon as measurement. Either freeze them for up to 30 days or bake them for 18-20 minutes or until lightly golden. Serve immediately!

6. 6

   If baking from frozen, baking time will increase to 25-30 minutes.
