Brazilian Cheese Bread

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium sauce pan, add milk, butter and salt and heat up. Remove as soon as bubbles start appearing. Stir in tapioca flour with wooden spoon until well combined.

Step 3

Transfer the dough to a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Beat for 3-5 minutes or until dough has smoothed out. Let dough rest for about 10 minutes to cool down.

Step 4

Add eggs to dough, one at a time, mixing for about 1 minute when each egg is added so it incorporates. Add Parmesan cheese and mix on medium speed until everything is combined. The dough should be sticky.

Step 5

Scoop the dough with an ice cream scoop or tablespoon and form into balls, placing on baking sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until they have puffed and are golden brown on top.
