Sweet Rice Flour and Cheese Bread



Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 25 minutes

Yields: 6-8 servings

Description
I used to make this with regular flour, but found that the bread comes out much better with rice flour. Try it!

Ingredients

 * 1 large cinnamon stick
 * 1/2 cup butter
 * 3/4 cup vegetable shortening
 * 1 cup granulated sugar
 * 4 large eggs
 * 1 pound rice flour
 * 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
 * 2 cups finely grated aged cotija cheese

Directions
1. Grind the cinnamon in a coffee grinder (or blender).

2. Butter a 9x13 inch glass baking dish.

3. In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream the butter and shortening. Add sugar and whip until light and fluffy. Beat in 1 egg at a time.

4. Sift the rice flour and baking powder into the mixture a little at a time; stir in the cheese.

5. Add batter to the buttered baking dish and cook for 20–25 minutes in a 425 F degree oven. Bread should be golden brown on the outside.
