Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Medium bowl
  • Non-stick skillet with a lid
  • Spatula or wooden spoon
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Ingredients
  

  • 1 large egg
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 2 cups corn starch or tapioca flour
  • 1 cup grated cheese mozzarella, parmesan, or a mix
  • 2 tbsp melted butter
  • 1 tsp baking powder

Instructions
 

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the corn starch (or tapioca flour) and baking powder. Add a pinch of salt and mix well.
  • In a separate bowl, beat the egg lightly. Add the milk and melted butter, whisking until fully combined.
  • Slowly pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring continuously to avoid lumps. Add the grated cheese and mix until you get a sticky, soft dough.
  • Divide the dough into 8–10 equal portions and roll each into a ball. Flatten them slightly into discs for even cooking.
  • Preheat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Place the dough balls in the pan, leaving space between them. Cover and cook for 5–7 minutes on one side.
  • Carefully flip each bread and cook for another 5–7 minutes until golden brown and fully cooked. Let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

If the dough feels too dry, add a splash more milk. If it’s too sticky, dust with a bit more starch. Serve warm for the best flavor!
