Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Brazilian Cheese Bread (Pão de Queijo).
Step 1
Begin by preheating your oven to a cozy 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
In a spacious saucepan, blend together olive oil or butter, water, milk, and a pinch of salt.
Step 3
Heat this mixture over high heat until it reaches a vigorous boil, then swiftly remove it from the heat.
Step 4
Next, introduce the tapioca flour and minced garlic to the saucepan, stirring until the mixture transforms into a smooth, cohesive blend.
Step 5
Allow this concoction to rest for about 10 to 15 minutes, letting it cool slightly.
Step 6
Once it has cooled, fold in the grated Parmesan cheese and beaten eggs, mixing until everything is harmoniously combined.
Step 7
The resulting dough will have a delightful, chunky texture reminiscent of cottage cheese.
Step 8
With a spoon or cookie scoop, drop generous balls of dough—approximately 1/4 cup each—onto an ungreased baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced about 2 inches apart.
Step 9
Slide the baking sheet into your preheated oven and let them bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the tops achieve a lovely golden brown hue.
Step 10
Enjoy the delightful aroma wafting through your kitchen as these treats come to life!.
