Yield: 24 cheese buns

Ingredients

  1. ½ cup water
  2. ½ cup milk
  3. ¼ cup oil
  4. ½ teaspoon salt
  5. 1 ½ cups tapioca starch
  6. 1 egg
  7. 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease 2 baking sheets.
  2. Bring water, milk, oil, and salt to boil in a large saucepan. Remove from heat; add tapioca starch and mix well. Let cool, 10 to 15 minutes.
  3. Transfer tapioca mixture to a large bowl. Add egg and mix well to combine. Fold in Parmesan cheese and knead until dough is smooth but still sticky.
  4. Scoop out 1 tablespoon of the dough and roll into a small ball; place on baking sheet. Repeat with remaining dough.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 20 minutes.
  6. Manioc starch (“Polvilho Dolce”) is traditionally used in this recipe. Use it instead of the tapioca if preferred.

I love these. I feel like the waiting 15 min is so the egg doesn’t cook with the hot dough. Also if you make a double batch cook them separately initially because the tapioca flour will not bind correctly.

Batter was so runny that I added another cup of tapioca starch. Then, bread balls flattened and did not puff in oven. The result was chewy toasted cheese pancakes. The flavor was good. I will try another version of this recipe.
