Air Fryer Brazilian Cheese Bread Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons (30 ml) unsalted butter, plus more for greasing
• 1/2 cup (125 ml) milk
• 1½ cups tapioca flour
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 large egg, beaten
• 2/3 cup (160 g) finely grated Asiago cheese

Instructions

Place the butter in a small saucepan. Pour in the milk. Bring to a boil, stirring.

Turn off the heat and stir in the tapioca flour and salt to form a soft dough.

Remove the dough from the heat and transfer to a large bowl.

Wrap the bowl in a plastic wrap and set aside for 15 minutes.

Whisk the egg, using a hand mixer, for 2 minutes or until a sanity dough form.

Fold the grated cheese in the dough.

Cover the bowl with a plastic wrap and set aside for a further 10 minutes.

Grease a cake pan with butter.

Scoop 2 tablespoons of the dough into the pan (make 12 balls).

Place the cake pan in the air fryer.

Working in batches, bake at 375 F (180 C) for 12 minutes, or until cheese balls are golden and fluffy, flipping them halfway through the cooking time.
