This Brazilian cheese bread recipe is a gluten-free bread/snack that basically is a chewy cheese puff made with tapioca flour.

Brazilian Cheese Bread

unsalted butter (1 stick)

tapioca flour (10 oz)

eggs

Parmesan cheese

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

eggs, (whites and yolks separated)

Tbsp oil or softened butter*

sharp cheddar cheese, shredded

water

(7.5 oz) Chebe Original Cheese Bread Mix

Parmesean cheese and garlic powder

Add the tapioca starch to a large mixing bowl (or stand mixer bowl). Pour the hot milk mixture into the bowl and get stirring! My stand mixer makes quick work of this - I would stay mix for 2-3 minutes until smooth. Arm power takes a bit longer, but I have made these manually too - give it some muscle and stir until smooth and sticky (while thinking of the amazing arm workout you are getting :D).

Take an oven tray and line with a silcone mat or non-stick baking parchment. Wet your hands, then scoop a small ball of the dough (a heaped tbsp) out of the bowl and onto your wet palms - the water should stop the dough from sticking to you.

They will not hold their form exactly, but don't worry they will puff up during baking.

How to make Brazilian cheese bread &#039;puffs/rolls&#039; (aka pão de queijo) with just 5 ingredients and in under an hour from start to finish. These Brazilian cheese puffs are naturally gluten-free and packed with cheese for tons of flavor. Enjoy them with breakfast or as a snack any time of the day!

Brazilian Cheese Bread ‘puffs’ (Pão de Queijo)

vegetable oil (or butter)

tapioca starch (sometimes called tapioca flour (read FAQs about sweet vs. sour tapioca starch))

tsp salt

egg (large)

cheese

Add the milk and vegetable oil (or butter) to a small pan and heat over medium-high heat until it comes to a boil.

Meanwhile, as it heats up, add the starch and salt to a large bowl (or blender).

Step 1: Heat the milk fat mixture

Add the warmed milk mixture to the bowl with the tapioca starch and mix it well into a sticky dough- almost like a fondant texture.If the mixture is very hot, it can be a good idea to cool it for several minutes. Otherwise, you run the risk of your egg starting to cook and the cheese melting - whoops!

Then add the egg and incorporate it well before adding the cheese and folding it into the batter.

Traditionally the mixture is added to a blender to properly incorporate the oil (or butter) into the batter. Still, I&#039;ve found that it works fine blending it by hand using my method.

To use a blender/stand mixer: For a blender, you just add the starch and milk mixture, blend, add in the egg and cheese, and blend into a batter. For a stand mixer, slowly pour in the milk mixture while mixing it on a low, then mix in the egg and cheese and increase the mixer speed to medium speed to form the batter.The batter texture can vary. Some Instagram followers let me know mine was a little wet, yet others said it was thicker than theirs – my main problem was whether it works when baked, and it does wonderfully! If it&#039;s scoopable like a batter, then it should be fine. If it&#039;s too liquidy, chill it in the refrigerator for 30-60 minutes to thicken up (Read FAQs for more advice).

Step 2: Prepare the dough

Preheat the oven to 400ºF/200ºC.

If the batter is hand moldable, then you can hand mold each ball. Otherwise, use a 1tbsp measuring spoon/scoop per pão de queijo. Spoon the mixture into a well-oiled (or use cooking spray) mini muffin pan or onto a parchment-lined baking tray (1-inch apart). I prefer using the muffin tin as it works well with a slightly looser batter too!Optionally, you can sprinkle a little extra cheese over them – but it&#039;s not necessary.

Bake for between 15-20 minutes (the time will vary based on your oven and if you're using a muffin tin vs. oven tray). Once ready, the Brazilian cheese bread should be lightly brown and puffed up. Mine are slightly browner than usual this time because I got distracted (whoops!).

If you bake them until very lightly golden, then they will be chewier and more elastic. If you bake them until a darker brown, like mine, then they'll be crisper on the outside.

Once baked, they are ready to enjoy immediately or be allowed to cool for later.

Step 3: Bake the Brazilian cheese bread

Room Temp: You can store the thoroughly cooled pão de queijo at room temperature for 2-3 days. Enjoy as-is or reheat (instructions below).Fridge: The Brazilian cheese bread rolls can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week in the refrigerator.Freezer: I usually freeze the unbaked versions rather than the baked ones (the frozen Brazilian cheese bread can be baked from frozen), so I don&#039;t know how the texture may be impacted by freezing the baked cheese bread.Reheat: To reheat the Brazilian cheese bread, just place them back in the oven until warmed through.

An easy tutorial on how to make Brazilian cheese bread “puffs/rolls” (aka pão de queijo) with just 5 ingredients and in under an hour from start to finish.

Pão de queijo, also known as Brazilian cheese bread, is a savory pastry from Brazil. It is soft and delicious and best served straight from the oven.

tapioca flour*

mozzarella (finely shredded)

cotija (OR queso

eggs (room temperature(see notes))

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking pan with parchment and set aside.

In a large saucepan placed over medium-high heat, boil the milk, oil, and salt, whisking occasionally. Remove when you start to see large bubbles forming. Working quickly, stir in the tapioca flour. The dough will become VERY tacky and gummy. It will almost become gelatinous.

Transfer the dough to the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Turn mixing speed on low and gradually increase to medium. Beat the mixture for 2-3 minutes until it begins to become smooth. Add the grated cheeses and incorporate. Turn the mixing speed down to low and add the eggs one at a time, beat on medium for 2-3 minutes until a sticky, stretchy dough forms.

Using an ice cream scoop, create portions by dipping the scoop in water, scooping the batter and placing onto the prepared baking sheet. Place in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the tops and sides are lightly golden in color and the outsides are crisp (they may look a little greasy but that&#039;s just from the cheese, they won&#039;t be greasy when they cool).

Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the sheet for a few minutes before serving.

Pão De Queijo, Also Known As Brazilian Cheese Bread, Is A Savory Pastry From Brazil. It Is Soft And Delicious And Best Served Straight From The Oven.

Brazilian Cheese Bread (Pan de Queijo) is SO easy to make and is the perfect addition to any meal. You will love the chewy bread and cheesy center.

Brazilian Cheese Bread (Pao de Queijo)

cheddar cheese (shredded (shred yourself, just like the Parmesan))

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.Combine the milk, oil, and salt in the saucepan, and whisking occasionally, bring it to a gentle boil over medium heat. Remove from heat as soon as you see big bubbles coming through the milk.

Add all of the tapioca flour to the saucepan and stir until you see no more dry tapioca flour. The dough will be grainy and gelatinous at this point.

Transfer the dough to the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. (Alternatively, you can do the next few steps by hand. Be prepared for a work-out.) Beat the dough for a few minutes at medium speed until it smooths out and has cooled enough that you can hold your finger against the dough for several seconds.

Whisk the eggs together in a small bowl. With the mixer on medium, beat the eggs into the dough in two additions. Wait until the first addition has been fully incorporated into the dough before adding the second. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.

With the mixer on medium, beat in the cheese until fully incorporated. The resulting dough will be very sticky, stretchy, and soft with a consistency between cake batter and cookie dough.

Using an ice cream scoop, a tablespoon measure, or a dinner spoon, scoop rounded portions of the dough into mounds on the parchment-lined baking sheet.

Space the mounds an inch or two apart. Dip your scoop in water or spray with cooking spray to prevent sticking.

Transfer the sheet with the puffs to the oven and bake for 25-28 minutes, until the puffs have puffed, the outsides are dry, and they are JUST starting to color. Do not over bake! Cool briefly and eat.

This Brazilian Cheese Bread recipe is so easy to make. Learn how to make homemade grain-free and gluten-free cheese puffs with this foolproof recipe.

Easy Brazilian Cheese Bread Recipe (Pão de Queijo)

low-fat milk

tapioca flour/starch

cheddar cheese

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Grease two 12-cup mini-muffin pans.

Add all of the ingredients to a blender in the order listed and blend until smooth. Use a spatula to scrape down the sides of the blender, to ensure that all of the ingredients are evenly incorporated.

Pour the batter into the prepared mini-muffin pans, filling up each cup until about 3/4 full.

Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until puffed up and golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly on a wire rack. Serve warm.

This recipe made cheese puffs that were super easy and yummy! I will definitely make the recipe again.

I've also used cornstarch instead of tapioca starch and they turned out wonderfully. I love the ease of dropping everything into a blender to make and pour the batter.

I've made these for a few years now &amp; LOVE them.  They take no time to make and are a perfect snack for us GF people.

Have you ever flavored these? I was wondering if it would be added to the batter, or topped with something, or tossed with something. Let me know your thoughts!

Made this tonight with tomato soup in my Vitamix. I had great results. I used mozzarella cheese and sprinkled Parmesan on top prior to baking. These little pillows of goodness were a big hit!

Thanks for sharing the recipe! I see you haven’t used other flours. Is cassava flour different than tapioca flour? I have more of that and not a use for it.

I just saw your recipe and it most be the one I saw many years ago. I use different sizes of muffin trays to have a few big ones or many small ones. I was married to a Brazilian for many years and traveled a lot to Brazil. Best Pão de Queijo was from Minas Gerais.
These I make here in Thailand where I can get all ingredients easily. It brings back a piece of Brazil in my home. Even my Thai wife likes them!

Can you make in a regular sized cupcake pan? How long should you bake?

Hi Alia,

Can I use cornstarch or anything else rather than tapioca starch?

Thanks. 😊
