Brazilian Cheese Bread (Pao de queijo)
If you've had these buns from 5 On Black or somewhere else, you know how scrumptious these amazing little cheese buns are. I didn't realize they are also wheat and gluten free!
Ingredients
- ½ c olive oil or butter
- ⅓ c water
- ⅓ c milk or soy milk
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 c tapioca flour
- 2 tsp minced garlic
- ⅔ c freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 eggs (beaten)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Pour olive oil, water, milk, and salt into a large saucepan, and place over high heat. When the mixture comes to a boil, remove from heat immediately, and stir in tapioca flour and garlic until smooth. Set aside to rest for 10 to 15 minutes.
- Stir the cheese and egg into the tapioca mixture until well combined, the mixture will be chunky like cottage cheese. Drop rounded, 1/4 cup-sized balls of the mixture onto an ungreased baking sheet.
- Bake in preheated oven until the tops are lightly browned, 15 to 20 minutes.
