This recipe has many variations I've seen and tried over the years, yet none have matched the original's quality. I've made a few minor tweaks, but when something is already good, there's little reason to alter it.


These resemble small rolls, about the size of those from a mini muffin pan, and their taste is similar to a mini roll as well. I find they taste like white rolls, despite the recipe's suggestions. I prefer them the next day when they've softened a bit—they remind me of soft white bread, although I haven't actually eaten bread in many years, so I can't be certain.

Ideas, Advice and Suggestions

Low-fat milk – Fresh or long life both work fine I haven’t tried with milk alternatives but suspect it will affect the viscosity of the batter which is a little temperamental. You can used Full cream milk but, I prefer using low-fat milk because I think I get a better end product.
Large egg – Any size egg will work
Sunflower oil – I have tried with various types of oil Olive oil, Canola oil and blended oil and there has only been 1 that did not work I used a blender oil with Soybean oil in it and the batter went extremely thick and the end result tasted strange
Tapioca flour/starch – It must be tapioca starch not cassava flour. Tapioca starch has a specific consistency that you need for these Cheese Breads
Cheddar and/or mozzarella cheese – I have tried many different cheeses and most have worked but I would say the milder cheeses work the best Mozzarella and Cheddar
Finely grated parmesan cheese - you can leave this out if using full cream milk it helps with the flavour
Buttermilk  - you can leave this out if using full cream milk it helps with the flavour

Ingredients

  • 2/3 cup low-fat milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/3 cup sunflower oil
  • 1 ½ cups tapioca flour/starch
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar and/or mozzarella cheese
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon finely grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon Buttermilk

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F/200°C. Grease two 12-cup mini-muffin pans.
  • Add all of the ingredients to a blender in the order listed and blend until smooth. Use a spatula to scrape down the sides of the blender, to ensure that all of the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared mini-muffin pans, filling up each cup until about 3/4 full.
  • Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until puffed up and golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly on a wire rack. Serve warm.

Notes

  • Using full cream milk allows you to omit the buttermilk.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week and re-crisped in a warm oven or toaster oven. They can also be stored in the deep freeze and defrosted with the microwave for 15-20 seconds, not as crisp but still good.

    I looked everywhere and I could not source gluten free onion soup powder that I liked the taste of. So I looked for a recipe and I found he base recipe I used. I have adapted it to gluten free ingredients that I could find in the shops near me.

    Ideas, Advice and Suggestions

    Dried onion flakes – This is one of those ingredients I purchase whenever I come across it. It may come in large or small pieces; the ones I've found have been gluten-free, but it's always best to check the ingredient list. I found them at Linda's Bake and Pack.
    Woolworths beef stock powder – I specified the store because the variety in stock powders, particularly the salt content, can be significant. It's advisable to try different stock powders but always review the ingredient list for any stock product. Woolworths' stock powders, for instance, do not list gluten in the ingredients or allergens.
    Bisto – Only the original Bisto does not list gluten or wheat as ingredients. It is available in most grocery stores
    Onion powder – I've purchased a hard-to-find ingredient at both Woolworths and West Rand Plastic. The issue is that it solidifies in the bottle; however, I manage by chopping it out and grinding it back into powder, which proves effective.
    Parsley flakes – Dried parsley is available at nearly every store.
    Celery seed – Do not omit this ingredient as it contributes a flavor that the soup powder requires. If it's truly unavailable, you may substitute it with half the amount of celery salt, which is a blend of celery seeds and salt. Although it introduces a bit more saltiness, the taste remains pleasing. Locating this product was difficult, but I have successfully found it at two locations: Oriental Spice Bazaar at Blueberry Square and on the Linda's Bake and Pack website.
    Paprika – I always keep both smoked and unsmoked paprika at home and typically use the unsmoked variety, but any type of paprika will suffice. It's available in most grocery stores.
    White pepper – You can substitute black pepper for white pepper if you like, but you may need to adjust the seasoning to taste. I opt for a powdered form rather than freshly ground pepper, as it's challenging to evenly distribute the larger granules, often leading to uneven distribution. For those who are gluten-free, be aware that some pepper blends are mixed with wheat flour,
