Flower-shaped Cheese Bread

Ingredients

• 2 cups tapioca flour
• ¾ cup milk
• 3 tbsp butter
• 1 large egg
• 1.5 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• ½ tsp salt

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch round baking dish or line with parchment paper.

2. 2

   In a small saucepan, heat 0.75 cup milk and 3 tbsp butter over medium until butter melts and mixture is hot, about 3 minutes. Do not boil.

3. 3

   In a large bowl, combine 2 cups tapioca flour and 0.5 tsp salt. Pour the hot milk mixture over the flour and stir with a wooden spoon until a sticky dough forms, about 2 minutes.

4. 4

   Let the dough cool for 5 minutes, then beat in 1 large egg until fully incorporated. The dough will be glossy and sticky.

5. 5

   Fold in 1.5 cups shredded mozzarella cheese until evenly distributed.

6. 6

   With wet hands, shape the dough into 8 equal balls. Arrange them in the prepared dish in a circle, leaving a small gap between each ball to form a flower shape.

7. 7

   Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the bread is puffed and golden brown on top. Serve warm for the best chewy texture.
