If you’ve ever been to Texas de Brazil, or any other
Brazilian restaurant, you might have tried bread made with tapioca flour and
you didn’t even know was gluten free. Those cheese rolls on the table before
the meal? Yep. Those are the ones! Totally, naturally gluten free. I know, I
couldn’t believe it either. Since I found out about this, I’ve gone to Texas de
Brazil to order about 30 of these delicious rolls once a week. I’ve had them
with dinner, I’ve dipped them in my over medium eggs for breakfast and I’ve
spread a little peanut butter over them for a quick lunch. They are my new
gluten free obsession.
If you don’t have a Brazilian restaurant near by, or you
like to cook, you can make these at home! The trick is finding tapioca flour.
Save yourself the trouble, and just go to Whole Foods, where I know they have
it in stock. I tried five stores before discovering this (Neighborhood Walmart,
Walgreens, Winn Dixie, Super Walmart and Albertsons- none had any in stock). You
can also order this online, and I recommend the brand Bob’s Red Mill. Simply
Recipes has an easy recipe!
I hope this helps with anyone looking for a naturally gluten
free bread! Look out for my next posts about more gluten free products!
Xoxo,
