Bigger than itty-bitty Brazilian Cheese Breads

[celiacmaine-iac]

I converted the recipe from the link that Irish Davy Boy posted to non-metric measurements and oven temps. These have become my go-to recipe when I need a bread quickly. They take 30 -35 minutes from start to finish. They are also very versatile. I make them in my french bread pans when we want to have sausage or meatball subs.

Cheese Bread Sandwich Rolls

2-3/4 c. tapioca starch/flour
1 T. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. oregano
1/2 tsp. onion powder
1/8 tsp. garlic powder (you could use minced, fresh onion and garlic if you choose.)
8 oz. cheese, grated (I usually use cheddar)
1/3 c. olive oil
1/2 c. milk
3 lg. eggs

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray 8 muffin top indents with cooking spray. (a muffin top pan has 6 indents, if you don't want to use two pans, you could make 3-4 regular size muffins, as well as six rolls.)

Dump all ingredients in a lg. mixing bowl. Beat at low speed to blend ingredients for about 30 seconds. Increase speed to med-hi (6 on my kitchen-aid) and beat for 1-2 minutes, until the dough looks kind of like lumpy egg salad. Place about 1/2 c. dough in muffin top indents, and 1/4 c. dough in regular muffin tins. For the muffin top pan, spread the dough out flat. It should fill the muffin top indent. Pop in the oven and bake for 25 minutes. Allow to cool a bit before slicing.

Notes: You read it correctly. There is no xanthan gum in this recipe.

Have fun with different flavored cheeses. Pepper-jack cheese is really good in these, so is a dill havarti. Change your herbs and spices as well for new flavors. I'm going to try them with chopped sun-dried tomatoes and fresh rosemary. I rarely add cheese to my burgers with these, because of the large amount of cheese in the rolls.

These are fine the first couple of days. After that, I slice them and make quickie pizzas with them. Just don't use too soupy a sauce.

If you use a french bread pan, it makes two large loaves. When putting them in the pans, keep them about 3 inches from each end of the pan, because they get longer when they bake. They actually go right to the end of my pan.
