What you need:
1 pound Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and chopped
6-⅓ cups water, divided
2 cups tapioca flour
¼ cup nutritional yeast
2 teaspoons salt, divided
½ teaspoon baking powder
1 tablespoon dried oregano (optional)
½ cup vegan mozzarella cheese shreds
⅓ cup canola oil
What you do:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a small saucepan over high heat, add 6 cups water, 1 teaspoon salt, and potatoes. Cook until tender. Drain and mash potatoes.
- In a small bowl, add tapioca flour, nutritional yeast, salt, baking powder, and oregano and whisk well.
- In a large bowl, add cheese, remaining 1/3 cup water, and oil. Add mashed potatoes, mix together, and let cool.
- Combine wet and dry ingredients to make a soft, smooth dough.
- Roll dough in 1-1⁄4-inch balls and transfer to prepared baking sheet. Bake rolls for 30 to 35 minutes until puffed up and lightly golden. Serve hot.
Chef’s Tip: You can keep the dough in the fridge for 2 days or freeze dough balls before baking for up to 3 months.
