Ingredients

• 2 cups tapioca flour
• 1 cup whole milk
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 2 eggs
• 1 1/2 cups grated cheese (such as cheddar or mozzarella)

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C) and place a rack in the middle position. Grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
2. In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, oil, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and let it cool for a few minutes.
3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk the tapioca flour and eggs together. The mixture will be lumpy.
4. Slowly pour the hot milk mixture into the bowl with the tapioca flour and eggs, while stirring continuously. It will create a sticky batter.
5. Add the grated cheese to the batter and mix well until the cheese is evenly distributed.
6. Using a spoon or ice cream scoop, drop portions of the batter onto the prepared baking sheet. Leave some space between the portions as they will spread while baking.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes or until the cheese bread rolls are puffed up and golden brown on the outside.
8. Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy them warm or at room temperature.
