Author Notes
It's my grandma's recipe for a traditional brazilian snack. A very good roll to make for a guest. It takes less than one hour to make. It's a very good alternative for bread to gluten-free diets. —Paula Garcia
Ingredients
-
500 grams
tapioca flour
-
300 grams
mix of parmesan and gruyere cheese (half and half)
-
160 milliliters
whole milk, plus more if needed
-
160 milliliters
sunflower oil
-
3
eggs
-
5 to 10 grams
salt, if needed
Directions
-
Put, very carefully, tapioca flour in a metallic bowl.
-
Boil the milk and oil together (just the 320 ml as described above) until milk goes to the top of the oil.
-
Add the hot mixture of milk and oil on top of tapioca flour and let it cool down.
-
Meanwhile, grate the two cheeses as you prefer.
-
Mix the tapioca with a wooden spoon to help tapioca flour incorporate the liquid ingredients.
-
Add the cheese mixture in to cooled tapioca flour mixture.
-
Mix them up and start to add eggs, one at the time, mixing the dough with your hand. Continue to add eggs until they finish.
-
Try the dough to see if salt is needed (maybe the salt present in those cheeses will be enough, maybe won't).
-
Dissolve salt in a little bit of milk and add it to the dough.
-
Continue to add milk, a little bit per time, until the dough seems to be good to make the rolls.
