Brazilian Cheese Bread (Pão de Queijo) Recipe
Adapted from: Simply Recipes
Makes 16 – 17 Ingredients:
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:
- I used an olive oil/canola oil blend and the recipe works just fine.
- 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.
