Yucca Buns - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    cooking spray
    1 cup tapioca flour, plus extra for kneading
    1 teaspoon baking powder
    2 cups oaxaca cheese or 2 cups other fresh white cheese, such as mozzarella, finely grated
    2 large egg yolks
    2 -3 tablespoons heavy cream, if necessary
Preparation
    Preheat the oven to 350\u00b0F
    Line a baking pan with aluminum foil, and coat with nonstick cooking spray.
    Set aside.
    Combine the tapioca flour and baking powder together in a large bowl.
    Stir in the cheese and egg yolks.
    Mix until the dough forms a ball.
    Lightly flour a work surface and turn the dough out.
    Knead the dough with your hands until the dough is smooth, even-textured, and not sticky.
    If the dough doesn't come together or seems too stiff, then add cream, 1 tablespoon at a time, until it comes together and feels supple.
    Divide the dough into 10 even pieces and with your hands, roll each into a ball.
    Shape the balls into ovals and place them 1-inch apart on the prepared baking sheet.
    Bake until the rolls are pale gold (not browned), about 15 to 20 minutes.
    Cool on a wire rack for 5 to 10 minutes and serve while still warm.
