Pão de queijo, a Brazilian cheesy bread, steals the spotlight at churrasco restaurants, often consumed in large quantities. Inspired by a recipe on Bob's Red Mill tapioca flour bag, home cooks can easily replicate this treat using common pantry items. The gluten-free recipe requires just a few ingredients, and although a blender is recommended, mixing by hand is perfectly acceptable. Despite initial concerns about the wet batter, following the recipe yields delicious baked rolls that embody the famous Brazilian snack.
The real star of the show is the pão de queijo. These cheesy Brazilian breads arrive piping hot with a crisp exterior and chewy, mochi-like interior.
When I saw that Bob's Red Mill has a recipe for pão de queijo on the back of its tapioca flour bag, I knew I needed to attempt to bring these cheesy breads to my own kitchen.
The wonderful thing about working with tapioca flour is that it's gluten-free, so there's no need to worry about overmixing here.
The recipe is extremely simple and relies mostly on pantry staples; the only thing you may have to buy is the bag of tapioca flour itself.
