Pão de Queijo (Cheese Bread - Dairy-Free)

Ingredients

• 2 cups Tapioca Flour (tapioca starch)
• 1/2 cup Nutritional Yeast
• 1/4 cup Olive Oil
• 1 cup Water
• 1 tsp Salt

Instructions

1. 1Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. 2In a medium saucepan, combine the 1 cup of water, 1/4 cup of olive oil, and 1 tsp of salt. Heat the mixture over medium-high heat until it reaches a rolling boil.
3. 3Immediately remove the saucepan from the heat. Add the 2 cups of tapioca flour and the 1/2 cup of nutritional yeast to the hot liquid in the saucepan.
4. 4Stir the mixture vigorously with a wooden spoon or spatula until a smooth, uniform dough forms. Allow the dough to cool in the saucepan for 5 to 10 minutes, or until it is cool enough to handle comfortably.
5. 5Lightly dampen your hands with water. Take small portions of the cooled dough and roll them into balls, approximately 1 inch (2.5 cm) in diameter. Place the formed balls onto a baking sheet that has been lined with parchment paper, leaving some space between each one.
6. 6Bake the dough balls in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and have puffed up significantly.
7. 7Serve the pão de queijo warm for the best texture and flavor.
