Ingredients

  • 2 cups Tapioca Flour
  • 1/2 cup Nutritional Yeast
  • 1/4 cup Olive Oil
  • 1/2 cup Water
  • 1 teaspoon Salt

Instructions

  1. 1Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. 2In a large bowl, combine the 2 cups of Tapioca Flour and the 1/2 cup of Nutritional Yeast.
  3. 3Add the 1/4 cup of Olive Oil, the 1/2 cup of Water, and the 1 teaspoon of Salt to the bowl with the dry ingredients.
  4. 4Mix everything together with a spoon or your hands until a smooth, cohesive dough forms. It should be slightly sticky but manageable.

  7. 7Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until the Pão de Queijo are puffed up and have a light golden-brown color on the outside. They should feel slightly firm to the touch.
