Pão de Queijo | Brazilian Cheese Bread

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400 F.

Step 2

In a blender jar or a food processor bowl, add the tapioca flour, milk, oil, salt and egg.

Step 3

Pulse it a few times to blend it into a smooth batter.

Step 4

Add the cheese and just do couple of small pulses to combine everything.

Step 5

Grease the mini muffin pan liberally.

Step 6

Fill each hole halfway with the batter. This allows plenty of space to let the bread puff up.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes until the bread is crusty on the outside and lightly browned. Mine took only 15 minutes to bake.

Step 8

Remove the pan from the oven and let it sit for couple of minutes in the pan. Carefully remove the Pão de Queijo in a bowl and serve warm.
