Ingredients

• 200g of tapioca flour
• one large egg
• one tablespoon of cooking oil
• 30g of water
• 25g of gluten free powdered milk
• 100g of parmesan cheese

Method

To begin with preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius, gas mark 6. Next take a large bowl and add to it the tapioca flour, the powdered milk and the parmesan cheese. If you are not keen on parmesan cheese you can opt for a more mild cheese like a cheddar.

Mix together these ingredients until they are combined. Use a whisk to make sure there are no lumps in the mixture.

Now take a separate bowl and add the egg, oil and water to it. Use a whisk to mix the ingredients together and then add to the dry ingredients in the first bowl. Now combine everything together until it takes on a sticky, doughy consistency.

You can now decide whether you want to have a cheese bread loaf or smaller bites. For the perfect canapés break little bits of the dough ball off and roll into balls. Place on a baking tray and bake for about 20 minutes, until the balls are golden brown.

These cheese bread balls are simple to make and wonderfully tasty. You can make a whole batch as they can also be eaten cold so they’re the perfect canapés to keep stored a couple of days before you plan on having guests over. These delicious snacks are bound to go down a treat with your friends, whether they have a gluten-allergy or not.
