Golden with a crusty exterior, this Brazilian cheese bread recipe <\/strong>is naturally gluten-free, straightforward, and easy to make! Crisp on the outside and irresistibly chewy inside, the p\u00e3o de queijo are like fluffy puffs you can\u2019t stop eating!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Brazilian<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The authentic Brazilian cheese bread recipe involves heating milk and oil, then mixing in tapioca flour while it\u2019s hot (which can get a bit messy). My version skips the stovetop and is a quick recipe. It is the easy blender version. The cheesy bread still comes out hot, crispy, fluffy, and delicious, like cheesy bubble bread<\/a> or cheesy garlic bread<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n[feast_advanced_jump_to]\n\n\n

Why You\u2019ll Love The Recipe<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u2728 The recipe for Brazilian cheese bread is extremely simple. The only thing you may have to buy is a bag of tapioca flour, which is easy to find online or in supermarkets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2728 It\u2019s quick. Blend, pour, bake. While you clean up the kitchen, they\u2019re in the oven. By the time you\u2019re done, they\u2019re ready.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2728 It is honestly one of the best snacks ever, like Korean sausage rolls<\/a>. It\u2019s that impossible combination of a crisp exterior and a light, stretchy, almost chewy interior with melty, salty cheese in every bite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2728 P\u00e3o de queijo are a fun addition to potlucks, make impressive bite-sized appetizers for dinner parties similar to homemade pretzel bites<\/a>, and are great for breakfast, snacks, or alongside roasted carrot lentil soup<\/a> (or any other).<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Brazilian Cheese Bread Ingredients<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Labelled<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Tapioca flour<\/strong> or starch<\/strong> makes p\u00e3o de queijo chewy and special. Do not mistake this for cassava flour (which is also made from the same plant). You need the starch in tapioca to get that signature chew.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cheese<\/strong>: I loved <\/em>the taste of cheddar cheese scones<\/a>. So I went with a blend of grated sharp cheddar and salty parmesan. If you want them extra gooey, throw in some mozzarella. The recipe is very adaptable; you can use any kind of cheese you like. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Egg<\/strong> is for binding and helping the bread rise into those perfect little puffs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Milk<\/strong>: Use full fat for richness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oil:<\/strong> I used regular vegetable oil, but olive oil or avocado oil works well, too to keep the crumb light and airy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Salt<\/strong> to enhance the cheesy flavor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
