Pandebono - Colombian Cheese Bread
  1. Preheat the oven to 220 C/425 F/Gas 7.

  2. Line 2 large baking trays with baking paper.

  3. Weigh the Feta cheese into a large bowl first and mash it (or squish with hands) until it has become a smoothish paste.

  4. Add the grated Mozzarella cheese and mash this into the Feta.

  5. Mix the tapioca starch and baking powder together in a separate bowl and then add to the cheese, along with the eggs.

  6. Mash (or hand-squish) all the ingredients together until they form an evenly-blended, sticky 'dough'.

  7. Rub a little oil onto your hands (it also may help to wear some food-preparation gloves) and hand-roll the dough into about 26 walnut-sized balls. Arrange these on the baking trays with space between them.

  8. Place in the pre-heated oven and bake for 5 minutes, then turn the oven down to 200 C/400 F/Gas 6 (don’t open the door).

  9. Cook for a further 10 minutes until the rolls are risen and golden.

  10. Remove from the oven.

  11. Best eaten fresh and warm. Rolls can be ‘refreshed’ in the microwave on high for a few seconds only if necessary to re-warm. Freeze fresh on the day of making and warm them in the microwave.
