Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 200 grams glutinous rice flour
  • 5 grams salt
  • 30 grams grated Parmesan cheese
  • 45 grams grated cheddar cheese

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1/4 cup light olive oil
  • 1 egg, slightly beaten

Optional Garnish

  • 1/3 cup finely chopped green onions

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the mochi bread.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine glutinous rice flour and salt, ensuring they are well blended.
  3. Add liquids and form pellets: Pour in the milk and olive oil to the dry mixture and stir with a spoon or mixer until the mixture looks like small pellets or coarse crumbs.
  4. Incorporate egg: Add the slightly beaten egg to the bowl and mix thoroughly until the dough forms a cohesive ball.
  5. Add cheese and onions: Stir in the grated Parmesan and cheddar cheeses along with the optional chopped green onions evenly into the dough using a spatula or spoon.
  6. Shape the dough: Lightly dust your work surface and hands with glutinous rice flour, then shape the dough gently into a round disc.
  7. Divide and roll: Cut the dough disc into 8 equal wedges and roll each wedge into a ball shape.
  8. Bake: Arrange the dough balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 18 to 20 minutes, until you notice cracks appearing on the surface and the bread turns lightly golden.
  9. Cool and serve: Let the mochi bread cool slightly before serving to enjoy their chewy and cheesy goodness.

Notes

  • Using glutinous rice flour is essential to achieve the characteristic soft and chewy texture of mochi.
  • You can substitute light olive oil with other neutral oils, but olive oil adds subtle flavor.
  • The combination of Parmesan and cheddar cheese enriches flavor, but you can experiment with other cheeses if preferred.
  • If omitting green onions, the bread will still be delicious but less aromatic and fresh.
  • Ensure not to overbake to keep the bread soft and chewy; appearance of cracks and light golden color is your indicator.
  • Make sure your oven is well preheated for even baking.
