- In a bowl, mix the hydrated tapioca, eggs, light Minas cheese, and cottage cheese until well combined.
- Add the chia seeds (if using), salt, and olive oil. Stir until you have a homogeneous and slightly sticky dough.
- Using lightly greased hands, shape small balls of dough (about the size of a walnut) and place them on the prepared tray.
- Bake for 20-22 minutes or until the cheese breads are puffed and golden on top. Do not overbake to keep them soft inside.
- Remove from oven and serve warm. Enjoy your healthy tapioca cheese bread!
Informações adicionais
If you love cheese bread but are looking for a healthier, gluten-free twist, this fit tapioca cheese bread is the answer. It’s a staple at Brazilian cafés and kitchens—perfect for snacks, a light breakfast, or even an inventive side. With tapioca flour and light cheeses, you achieve a delightfully chewy, golden bread with much fewer calories.
Practical Tips for the Best Result
- Hydrate the tapioca granules correctly: This ensures softness. If needed, add 1-2 tablespoons of water before mixing with the other ingredients, especially if your mixture looks dry.
- Cheese swaps: Can't find light Minas cheese? Try mozzarella or a mild provolone for more flavor. Cottage cheese can be replaced by ricotta or Greek yogurt for extra creaminess.
- Eggs at room temperature help the dough come together more smoothly and give a lighter texture.
- Grease your hands very lightly with olive oil before shaping to prevent sticking.
Techniques and Texture Hacks
- Do not over-bake: Remove from the oven when they’re just golden for a soft, airy inside.
- Add mix-ins like a pinch of oregano or fresh rosemary to the dough for personalized flavors.
- For an even crispier crust, bake on a preheated baking stone or directly on the oven rack with parchment paper.
Serving & Variations
- Enjoy warm with cottage cheese, requeijão, or a homemade chili jam for a sweet-and-savory punch.
- Pair with black coffee or fresh juices for an authentic Brazilian experience.
- Make mini cheese bread bites for parties or kids’ lunchboxes.
