Pão de Queijo (Cheese Bread) - Egg-Free

Ingredients

• 2 cups Tapioca Flour (Sour)
• 1 cup Tapioca Flour (Sweet)
• 1/2 cup Milk
• 1/4 cup Vegetable Oil
• 1 tsp Salt
• 1 1/2 cups Minas Cheese (or Mozzarella)
• 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese
• 2 tbsp Chia Seed 'Egg'

Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.

Instructions

1. 1Preheat your oven to 190°C.
2. 2In a small saucepan, combine the 1/2 cup Milk, 1/4 cup Vegetable Oil, and 1 tsp Salt. Heat this mixture over medium heat until it just begins to simmer, with small bubbles forming around the edges of the pan.
3. 3In a large mixing bowl, combine the 2 cups Tapioca Flour (Sour) and 1 cup Tapioca Flour (Sweet). Carefully pour the hot milk mixture over the tapioca flours and stir vigorously with a sturdy spoon until all the flour is moistened and thoroughly combined.
4. 4Allow the mixture to cool for 5-10 minutes, until it is warm to the touch but not hot. This cooling step prevents the cheeses from melting prematurely. Add the 1 1/2 cups Minas Cheese (or Mozzarella), 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese, and the 2 tbsp Chia Seed 'Egg'. Mix thoroughly with your hands until a smooth, uniform dough forms.
5. 5Roll the dough into small, approximately 2.54 cm (2.5 cm) balls. Arrange the balls about 2.54 cm (2.5 cm) apart on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the pão de queijo are puffed up and golden brown.
