For many of us, bread is bad because of our love-of-hate relationship with carbs. Tapioca flour is naturally high in carbohydrates and is considered a good gluten-free flour. It makes great tapioca waffles.

Tapioca flour can be found in many supermarkets as well as on Amazon.com.

I have tried the recipe with both whole milk and Lactaid milk. The bread prepared with Lactaid milk had a lighter texture than the whole milk. Adding paprika spice is a great option for color and taste. Reheat in a microwave for a few seconds and revive these tasty pieces of bread.
The pieces of bread can last up to 3 days in the refrigerator. For a healthier taste, add flaxseed. Cheeses such as parmesan, gouda, and asiago are tasty alternatives.
Perfect for a snack or a side, these amazing cheese rolls are made with local ingredients and are delicious.
