Time 40m

Yield 10 buns

Number Of Ingredients 12

Nonstick cooking spray
1 cup tapioca flour, plus extra for kneading
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 cups Oaxaca cheese or other fresh white cheese, such as mozzarella, finely grated
2 large egg yolks
2 to 3 tablespoons heavy cream, if necessary
Pineapple Jalapeno Marmalade, recipe follows
1 (20-ounce) can crushed pineapple in juice, strained
4 cups sugar
1 orange, zested and juiced
1 lemon, zested and juiced
2 jalapenos, seeded and minced

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking pan with aluminum foil, and coat with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
  • Combine the tapioca flour and baking powder together in a large bowl. Stir in the cheese and egg yolks. Mix until the dough forms a ball. Lightly flour a work surface and turn the dough out. Knead the dough with your hands until the dough is smooth, even-textured, and not sticky. If the dough doesn't come together or seems too stiff, then add cream, 1 tablespoon at a time, until it comes together and feels supple.
  • Divide the dough into 10 even pieces and with your hands, roll each into a ball. Shape the balls into ovals and place them 1-inch apart on the prepared baking sheet. Bake until the rolls are pale gold (not browned), about 15 to 20 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for 5 to 10 minutes and serve while still warm. Serve with Pineapple Marmalade, if desired.
  • Combine the pineapple, sugar, orange zest, orange juice, lemon zest, lemon juice and jalapenos in medium saucepan.
  • Bring mixture to a rapid boil over high heat, stirring frequently. Lower heat to medium and continue to cook for 15 minutes, stirring often to prevent scorching.
  • Remove from heat and cool before serving.
  • Store in refrigerator for up to 1 month or in the freezer for 6 months.
