Gluten free recipe – perfect for picnics!
Ingredients: 2 Cups (240g) Tapioca starch (Tapioca starch or flour can be bought at Chinese supermarkets. It’s also sold in Tesco, in the international shelves -South American / Brasil – and it’s called Sweet Cassava);
150ml Milk; 1 egg; 2 Tablespoons Butter (30g); 2 Cups Mature cheddar cheese (250g); 1 cup parmesan cheese (100g)
Preheat the oven to 400º F – 200ºC
Mix the tapioca with the egg and the butter, slowly add the milk until all the ingredients clump together, knead just a little bit, the consistency should be humid enough to hold all the ingredients together but not too humid because, once in the oven, the heat will make them melt instead of rising.
Add the cheese, mixing to distribute uniformly but do not knead.
Form little balls around 4 cm in diameter (the size of a table tennis ball) and place them on a baking tray, covered in baking paper. Bake at 200ºC or 400ºF for 20 minutes. The cheese breads are ready when the colour is yellowish and the cheese is golden brown. Enjoy!
