This is amazing!! Very simple and fast! Everything went well, I did use everything and time everything as directed & flawless turnout! The only trouble I had was trying to find tapioca flour, but after three places I found it in my neighborhood organic supermarket.

This cheese bread was magnificent.  As to the note about the proportions, we found that filling the muffin cup half way yielded better results, NOT 1 tablespoon.  The cooking times changed too as well, to 15-20 minutes or golden on top.
