Brazi Bites – Brazilian Cheese Rolls

bags of mini Brazi Bites

Brazi Bites is a brand of Brazilian rolls that are sold at Whole Foods and occasionally at Costco in the freezer section. (They are probably sold elsewhere but this is where I’ve seen them.) Brazilian rolls are known as “cheese bread” and they contain no gluten. They are made with tapioca flour instead of wheat flour.

Brazi Bites in a single layer on a lined tray

Line a tray with parchment paper (if using foil, spray with a non stick oil to prevent the rolls from sticking) and place frozen rolls in a single layer. Place tray on middle rack of oven and cook for 20 minutes in a pre-heated 400 degree oven, rotating tray after 10 minutes.

Serve rolls immediately when nice and hot. While the rolls are very tasty on their own, if you smear a little of the herb butter on, it amplifies their flavor and turns them into mini taste bombs!
