Ingredients:
- 2 cups of granulated tapioca (approx. 340g or 12 oz)
- 200 ml of cow’s milk (approx. 6.8 fl oz or 3/4 cup)
- 2 tablespoons of butter (approx. 28g or 1 oz)
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup of sweet starch (approx. 60g or 2 oz)

Instructions:
- In a saucepan, heat the milk until it’s almost boiling.
- In a bowl, combine the hot milk with butter and salt to taste.
- Add the granulated tapioca. Let it rest for 5 to 10 minutes until the tapioca is hydrated and swollen.
- Mix in the beaten egg quickly to incorporate.
- Add the sweet starch and shredded mozzarella cheese. Mix until a homogeneous dough is formed.
- Knead the dough well with your hands until it’s uniform.
- Shape the dough into small balls or rolls.
- Place the rolls on a greased baking sheet or lined with parchment paper.
- Preheat the oven to 356-392°F (180-200°C).
- Bake the rolls for approximately 30 minutes or until golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
Tips: You can freeze the rolls for longer storage. Just place them on a tray in the freezer and, once frozen, transfer them to a freezer bag or container. To bake, put them directly in the oven frozen.
