Equipment
- Blender
- Mixing bowl
- Baking sheet
- Parchment paper (optional)
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Whisk
Ingredients
- 1 cup tapioca flour also known as tapioca starch
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup grated cheese Parmesan or a blend works best
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- Optional: herbs or spices e.g., garlic powder or oregano for added flavor
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
- Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures the bread bakes evenly and develops that beautiful golden crust.
Step 2: Blend the Ingredients
- In my trusty blender, I add the milk, vegetable oil, eggs, and salt. I blend these together until smooth and well combined. This creates a lovely base for the dough.
Step 3: Mix in the Dry Ingredients
- Next, I add the tapioca flour and baking powder directly into the blender. I pulse the blender a few times until the mixture is just combined. The texture should be thick but pourable.
Step 4: Incorporate the Cheese
- Now comes the best part! I toss in the grated cheese (and any optional herbs or spices) and give it a quick blend to distribute the cheese throughout the dough.
Step 5: Prepare the Baking Sheet
- I line my baking sheet with parchment paper for easy removal, but it’s not strictly necessary. Then, I use a spoon to drop tablespoon-sized amounts of the dough onto the sheet, leaving space between each one as they’ll puff up while baking.
Step 6: Bake
- I pop the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake for about 20 minutes, or until the cheese bread rolls puff up and turn a lovely golden brown.
Step 7: Cool and Serve
- Once done, I remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. They’re best served warm, so I can’t resist digging in!
Notes
Feel free to customize your cheese bread! Experiment with different types of cheese or add in herbs to match your taste.
If you prefer a spicier kick, consider adding a pinch of cayenne pepper or some diced jalapeños to the mix.
