One serving has 167 kcal and 5 g protein. Ready in 31 minutes.
- Preparation: 15 min
- Cooking: 16 min
- Makes: 1 serving (50.7 g)
- Difficulty: Easy
- Diets: Vegetarian, Gluten-free, Low carb
- Contains: dairy, egg
Ingredients
- 20 g Tapioca pearls, dry
- 22 g Queso fresco
- 3 g Butter, unsalted
- 5.5 g Eggs, whole, raw
- 0.2 g Salt
Method
- This is one roll; the amounts above are for one roll, so multiply everything by 10 for a full batch.
- The tapioca starch stands in for the cassava starch (almidón de yuca) that this bread is traditionally made from.
- In a food processor, pulse the tapioca starch to a fine powder, then add the queso fresco, softened butter, egg and salt.
- Process until the mixture just comes together into a soft, pliable dough; it will look a little grainy, that's normal.
- Shape into small rings or ovals, about 45 g each, and place on a lined tray.
- Bake at 200 °C (400 °F) for 15-18 minutes until the outside is set and lightly golden; the inside stays soft and chewy.
- Serve warm, ideally the same day.
