Brazilian Cheese Bread - Pao De Queijo
bewitchingkitchen.com
(Printable Recipe)
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 egg
- 1 cup tapioca flour
- 1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 1/2 tsp salt
- for topping (optional)
- fresh rosemary leaves, chopped
- kosher salt
Add all ingredients, except those for the topping, into a blender. Blend very well at full speed, stopping a couple of times to scrape the surface of the blender’s cup, making sure no bits of tapioca starch are left unmixed.
The mixture will be a little thinner than pancake batter. Pour the batter in mini-muffin tins, to no more than 3/4 of their capacity. Add a little bit of salt and rosemary on top, place in a 400F oven, and cook for 20 minutes. Most will come out right away without sticking. If some stick slightly, allow them to cool for a few minutes and probe them out gently with the tip of a knife. The recipe makes 20-24 little cheese breads.

I'm going to see if I can find the tapioca flour.
ReplyDeleteYou've got me convinced I need to look for it now.
Your cheese bread looks so delicious! Love the rosemary in it too!
ReplyDeleteI hear that tapioca flour is hard to find, but you may have luck at a health food store. Instant Tapioca (in the little red box) can also be used if crushed up finely in a good blender. Good luck, I may try it that way myself! :)
ReplyDeleteSo glad you enjoyed the recipe! It's one of our favorites when we need a quick "Brazilian pao de queijo" fix....
ReplyDeletethanks for the link to my blog!
Looks great! Wonder what makes them Brazilian? The tapioca flour?

We just got our first churrascaria in town last month and trying to get there soon.
ReplyDeleteThese little jewels look great, Steph!
A friend of mine used to make these and sell them at a Farmer's Market and I've always been curious about the recipe. I'll have to give them a try.
ReplyDeleteThese are great! So addictive!
ReplyDeleteDoes anybody know the name of the apple & raisin salad they have at ogo de Chao? I can't seem to find the recipe for it.
I was going to try these, but I'm not a great "on my own" cook and there is no bake temp or time in the recipe. Help???
