Time 1h15m

Yield 20

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup half-and-half
½ cup vegetable oil
1 pinch salt
2 cups tapioca flour
2 cups finely grated Pecorino Romano cheese
2 eggs

Steps:

  • Heat half-and-half, vegetable, and salt together in a saucepan over medium heat; constantly whisk until mixture just starts to boil, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and pour mixture into a large deep bowl.
  • Stir tapioca flour into half-and-half mixture using a wooden spoon. Mixture will thicken quickly. Cool to room temperature, about 20 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Mix Pecorino Romano cheese and eggs into tapioca mixture using an electric mixer or by hand until dough has a paste-like texture. Continue mixing until dough is soft and stretchy. Roll dough into 2- or 3-inch balls and arrange on a baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until cheese balls are puffed and hardened on the outside, 20 to 25 minutes. Serve warm.

This recipe was a disaster! The cheese bread didn't rise and it was dense and chewy. I would not recommend this recipe.

The cheese bread was a bit too cheesy for my taste. I think I will try using less cheese next time.
