Brazilian Cheese Bread

 
Brazilian Cheese Bread (Pão de Queijo) Recipe
Adapted from: Simply Recipes
Makes 16 – 17 Ingredients:
  • 1 egg, at room temperature
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 2/3 cup milk
  • Scant 1 1/2 cups (170 grams) tapioca flour (tapioca starch)
  • 1/2 cup packed (about 100 grams) grated cheese of your choice (I like the combination of cheddar cheese and mozzarella cheese)
  • 1 heaping teaspoon salt
Method:
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Grease a mini-muffin tin generously. Put all of the ingredients into a blender and pulse until smooth. Use a spatula to scrape down the sides of the blender so that everything gets blended well. At this point you can store the batter in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Bake in the oven for 20 minutes, until all puffy and just lightly browned. Remove from the oven and let cool on a rack for a few minutes. Eat while warm or save to reheat later.
Cook’s Notes:
  1. I  used an olive oil/canola oil blend and the recipe works just fine.
  2. You can buy tapioca flour or tapioca starch at Asian food stores such as 99 Ranch. It’s also available at Whole Foods, or online, according to Simply Recipes.
