Pão de Queijo (Dairy-Free Cheese Bread)

Ingredients

• 2 cups Tapioca Flour (sweet)
• 0.5 cup Water
• 0.25 cup Olive Oil
• 0.5 cup Nutritional Yeast
• 1 tsp Salt

Instructions

1. 1Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. 2In a large bowl, whisk together the 2 cups of tapioca flour, 0.5 cup of nutritional yeast, and 1 tsp of salt until they are well combined.
3. 3In a small saucepan, bring the 0.5 cup of water and 0.25 cup of olive oil to a boil.
4. 4Carefully pour the boiling liquid from the saucepan into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir vigorously with a spoon or spatula until a smooth, cohesive dough forms. Let the dough cool for about 5-10 minutes, just until it's comfortable to touch.
5. 5Lightly grease your hands with a tiny bit of olive oil if the dough feels sticky. Roll the cooled dough into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place these balls onto a baking sheet that has been lined with parchment paper, leaving a little space between each one.
6. 6Bake for 20-25 minutes. The Pão de Queijo are ready when they have puffed up and are lightly golden brown on the outside.
7. 7Serve the Pão de Queijo warm.
