Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Total Time 30 minutes
Servings 20 mini rolls

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups tapioca flour
  • cup milk
  • ¼ cup water
  • 3 tablespoons oil
  • ½ cup parmesan cheese grated
  • ½ cup mozzarella cheese shredded
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400F
  • In a sauce pan, combine milk, water, oil, and salt. Bring this to a boil.
  • In a stand mixer bowl, pour the tapioca flour. Then pour in the boiling mixture and mix well on medium speed until uniform throughout. You should end up with a sticky mixture that holds its shape well
  • While the mixer is running, add the egg. Then add the parmesan cheese and mozzarella cheese. Mix again until uniform throughout. The dough should remain soft and sticky.
  • Next shape the dough and place them on a parchment paper lined baking tray. I used an ice cream scooper for easy shaping. You want to end up with balls about the size of a golf ball.
  • Bake in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until the balls reach a nice gold color.
  • When done, remove from oven and let cool just a little before enjoying! They are best eaten warm but not uncomfortably hot.
