Pao De Queijo (Brazilian Cheese Bread) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

4 cups tapioca starch (such as Bob's Red Mill(R))
1 cup water
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 1/2 tablespoons salt
1 1/4 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend
3 eggs
2 teaspoons water, or as needed

Preparation

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
Pour tapioca starch into a wide bowl.
Combine 1 cup water, vegetable oil, and salt in a saucepan; bring to a boil. Slowly pour over the tapioca, mixing with a spoon until evenly combined. Let cool slightly, about 10 minutes.
Stir Mexican cheese blend and eggs into the tapioca mixture. Knead dough until soft and sticky, 5 to 10 minutes. Add water, 1 teaspoon at a time, if dough seems dry.
Drop spoonfuls of dough 1 inch apart on the baking sheets.
Bake in the preheated oven until lightly golden, about 25 minutes.
