Luis’s Chipa Bread
Makes about 35 rolls.
Ingredients
2 oranges, juiced (optional)
2 sticks butter, completely softened
Milk
Butter
8 cups mandioca flour (can substitute with tapioca flour)
3 eggs
2 ½ cups thickly shredded Parmesan cheese
2/12 cups thickly shredded Gouda cheese (known as “red rind” cheese in Argentina)
Preheat the oven to 375º F. Lightly grease a large baking sheet with butter.
On a flat surface, combine the mandioca flour with the shredded Parmesan cheese and form a ring.
In the middle, add the eggs, orange juice, and butter. With a fork, mix in the middle ingredients into the flour mixture. Add milk as needed to the middle to create a smooth dough. Add in the shredded Gouda cheese last.
Let the dough rest about an hour.
Form 1 to 1 ½ inch balls of dough.
Cook 15-20 minutes until slightly golden.
