Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). (5 minutes)

02

Step

Lightly grease a baking sheet with cooking spray or line it with parchment paper. (2 minutes)

03

Step

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, shredded Italian cheese blend, and melted butter until well combined. (3 minutes)

04

Step

Gradually add the tapioca starch and self-rising flour to the wet ingredients. Stir until a cohesive dough forms. The dough will be quite sticky, which is perfectly normal. (5 minutes)

05

Step

Lightly flour your hands and a clean work surface. Turn the dough out onto the floured surface and gently knead for about 2 minutes. This helps to bring the dough together. (2 minutes)

06

Step

Roll the dough into small, golf ball-sized pieces. Place them onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each one. (7 minutes)

07

Step

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the Chipas are golden brown and slightly puffed up. The baking time may vary depending on your oven. (15 minutes)

08

Step

Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving. They are best enjoyed warm. (5 minutes)

For an extra cheesy flavor, consider adding a pinch of grated Parmesan cheese to the dough.
If you don't have self-rising flour, you can make your own by combining 1 cup of all-purpose flour with 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
Chipas are best served fresh and warm. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container at room temperature and reheat them slightly before serving.
For a softer Chipa, consider adding one more tablespoon of milk to the mixture.

    These were so easy to make, and my kids devoured them! I used a mix of mozzarella and cheddar cheese, and they were a hit.

    The dough was a little sticky, but I just added a little more flour and it worked out fine. These are delicious!

  • Leanna Cruickshank

    I was skeptical about the tapioca starch, but it really gives these bread a unique texture. I'll definitely be making these again!

    I used provolone cheese, and they turned out amazing!

    I froze half of the dough and baked it a week later. They tasted just as good as the fresh batch!

    Next time, I'm going to try adding some herbs to the dough for extra flavor. Maybe rosemary or thyme.
