How to Make Cheese Bread

Instructions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a saucepan, heat the milk and vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the salt and stir until it comes to a gentle boil.

Step 3

Place the tapioca flour in a large mixing bowl. Pour the hot milk mixture over the tapioca flour, and stir until well combined. The mixture will become thick and gel-like.

Step 4

Allow the mixture to cool for a few minutes, so it's not too hot to handle. Then, add the shredded cheese and mix until it's fully incorporated into the dough.

Step 5

Beat the eggs in a separate bowl and then add them to the dough. Knead the dough until the eggs are fully integrated, and you have a smooth, elastic, and slightly sticky dough.

Step 6

To form the Pão de Queijo, take small portions of the dough and roll them into balls, about the size of a walnut.

Step 7

Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between them as they will expand during baking.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until they are puffed up and have a golden brown crust.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Pão de Queijo is best enjoyed warm, and they make a perfect snack or accompaniment to your favorite Brazilian meal.

Step 10

Enjoy your homemade Pão de Queijo! They are irresistibly delicious and gluten-free.
