Original recipe makes 8 Servings
1 1/2 cupsWhole milk
2 1/2 cupsTapioca Flour (or Tapioca Starch)
3/4 cupshredded Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
3/4 cupCorn oil
3 wholeEggs
1 teaspoonSalt

Brazilian Cheese Bread Preparation

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Combine milk, oil, and salt and bring to a boil. Add half of the milk mixture to tapioca flour in a large bowl. As it began to come together, add a little more milk mixture until the dough adheres and becomes a big, firm ball. Add enough milk mixture only until the flour is moist. (Do not use all of the milk/oil/salt mixture).

Let it cool for a short while, then add the cheese. Use the stand mixer to mix it up. Then add the eggs, starting with a little egg at a time until needed. The finished dough is sticky and soft, and had the consistency of a very thick cake batter. It will not pour.

Using a mini muffin tin; fill each muffin cup three-quarters full. Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown. Breads should be crisp on the outside and hollow on the inside, like a popover. Serve warm.

Yields 2 dozen mini muffins.

    Only add enough milk mixture until the flour is moist otherwise the batter will not be thick enough after you add the eggs. [I posted this recipe.]
