Ingredients
- 1 cup tapioca starch - (polvilho doce)
- 2 cup sour tapioca starch - (polvilho azedo)
- 1 ½ cup semi-hard cheese - grated
- 1 ½ cup water
- ¼ cup oil
- 2 eggs - beaten
- 1 tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200 ° C.
- In a saucepan, mix the water with the oil and bring it to boil.
- Meanwhile, in a large bowl, mix the regular starch with the sour starch and salt.
- As soon as the mixture of water and oil boils, scald the starch, that is, pour the hot liquid little by little over the starch mixture. Stir well with a spatula until it has absorbed all the liquid.
- Wait for the mixture to cool down before continuing to the next step. Otherwise, the eggs will cook and the cheese will melt with the heat.
- When the mixture is cold enough, add the grated cheese and mix well.
- Add the eggs and mix well until the dough has incorporated all the ingredients.
- To shape the cheese bread, put a little oil in your hands, take some of the dough and make small balls. If the dough is too runny you can get the help of a scoop or put it in the fridge a little bit.
- Bake it for about 30 min or until golden brown.
- Serve it warm.
