Ingredients
- 2 cups Tapioca flour (tapioca starch)
- 1 cup Milk
- 0.5 cup Vegetable oil (or neutral oil)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 large Egg
- 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 cup Grated mozzarella cheese
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 12-cup muffin tin with oil or non-stick spray.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, vegetable oil, and salt. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture begins to bubble. Remove from heat immediately to prevent boiling over.
Step 3
Gradually add the tapioca flour to the hot mixture, stirring well with a wooden spoon until the dough is smooth and combined. The dough will be sticky and stretchy.
Step 4
Let the dough cool for 5-10 minutes to make it easier to handle. Once slightly cool, mix in the eggs one at a time, fully incorporating each before adding the next.
Step 5
Add the grated Parmesan and mozzarella cheeses to the dough and mix well until combined. The dough will still be sticky, which is normal.
Step 6
Using a spoon or cookie scoop, divide the dough evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are puffed and lightly golden. Avoid opening the oven during baking to ensure the bread puffs properly.
Step 8
Remove the cheese bread from the oven and allow it to cool for 5 minutes before transferring to a serving plate. Serve warm and enjoy!
