Salt (to taste)
1/2 cup vegetable oil
8 tablespoons butter (melted)
4 1/4 cups tapioca flour

2 cups grated farmer's cheese (or any firm, fresh cow's milk cheese)
Optional: 1/4 cup cheddar cheese (grated)

  • Stir tapioca flour into the milk and butter mixture.
  • Stir in the eggs and the cheese, and mix well.
  • Let mixture cool for 15 to 30 minutes so that it will be easier to handle. (You can chill it in the refrigerator for 15 minutes or so). Preheat oven to 350 F.
  • With floured (tapioca flour) hands, shape the dough into golf-ball-size balls and place them on a baking sheet.
  • Bake rolls in the pre heated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, until they are puffed up and golden. They will rise slowly and puff up mostly in the last 5 or 10 minutes. Serve warm.

Categories     side-dish

Time 50m

Yield about 12 pieces

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 1/2 cups tapioca flour
2/3 cup whole milk
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 large egg
1 cup grated Parmesan
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
  • Put the tapioca flour in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment.
  • Combine the milk, oil, salt and 1/2 cup water in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil while whisking. Remove from the heat and pour over the tapioca flour in the mixing bowl. Begin to mix, first starting on low, then gradually increasing the speed to high as the mixture begins to thicken and turn smooth. (The mixture will look almost like glue.) While still beating, add the egg and beat until incorporated. Then add the cheeses, a small handful at a time, beating, until incorporated. (The mixture will by sticky and slightly stiff.)
  • Use a small ice cream scoop or heaping tablespoons and scoop the dough out onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving at least 1inch between them. Moisten the palm of your hand with water and pat each scoop into a slightly rounded mound.
  • Bake until they become puffed up, golden on top, deeply golden on the bottom and feel relatively light when picked up and dropped on the baking sheet, rotating about halfway through baking, 20 to 24 minutes. Let cool for at least a few minutes then eat warm or at room temperature.

PAO DE QUEIJO (BRAZILIAN CHEESE BREAD)



Pao de Queijo (Brazilian Cheese Bread) image

Pao de Queijo is a traditional peasants' bread from Minas-Gerais state in Brazil, but is now a delight countrywide. Last time I visited Brazil I was surprised to find cheese bread at the airport, offered along with American-brand pizza, though with a Brazilian brand that reminds us of this old Mineira tradition. (Minas-Gerais means the general mines, as this part of Brazil was the first where rich mines of gold, diamonds, emeralds, and other precious stones were found. It is also where one of the world's richest iron ore deposits are located.)
