In a saucepan, combine the milk, water, and vegetable oil. Bring this mixture to a boil, then remove it from the heat.
Pour the hot liquid mixture over the tapioca flour in a large mixing bowl. Mix it well until you get a smooth dough.
Allow the dough to cool slightly. Then, add the grated Parmesan and mozzarella cheeses, mixing thoroughly. Add the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is well incorporated before adding the next. The dough should be sticky and elastic.
