PãO DE QUEIJO - BRAZILIAN CHEESE BREAD RECIPE

Steps:

• Put together in a saucepan the milk, the butter, the oil, the salt and bring to a boil;
• Weight the two different types of manioc starch (sweet and sour) and mix them together;
• When the milk came to a boil take it from the fire and mix in the manioc starch. Mix well until you can't see any loose starch but the mixture is still a little crumbly;
• Brake the eggs in a bowl and mix them with a fork;
• Make sure that the manioc mixture is not too hot (you do not want to make scrambled eggs) and mix in the eggs until it becomes a smooth dough. I prefer using my hands to mix everything well. Instead of mixing in your saucepan you can also mix the dough on your countertop;
• When the dough is well mixed, wrap it with plastic film and let it cool at ambient temperature;
• While the dough is cooling down, grate the cheese (preferable parmesan);
• When the dough is cooled down, mix in the grated parmesan cheese until it is well integrated;
• Preheat the oven at 180ºC;
• Now you can start rolling your cheese breads. So they get all the same size and cook evenly I suggest you to use your kitchen scale, but that is not a must. The perfect size in my opinion, after experimenting a lot is 10g. When you think that the tough is sticking to your hands, you can rub a bit of oil on your hands while handling the dough. Put the rolled cheese bread on parchment paper with some space in between, because they will still grow a little bit in the oven;
• To cook them just place on a tray with parchment paper in the oven and bake them for approximately 15min at 180ªC. Watch them from time to time, depending on your oven they can need a little less or more time. When they start changing their color, they are perfect and you can pull them out - Enjoy them while they are fresh, crispy on the outside and soft and cheesy on the inside;

• Stir the cheese and eggs into the tapioca mixture until well combined. The mixture will be chunky. With wet hands, form 1 TBSP-sized balls of the mixture onto an ungreased baking sheet.
• Bake in preheated oven until the tops are lightly browned, 20 to 25 minutes.

• Note: The dough can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 3 days in an airtight container. The balls can be frozen and taken to the oven right from the freezer.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Oil or butter a baking sheet and set aside.
• Heat the milk, butter and salt in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Remove from the heat and add the tapioca flour. Stir vigorously, then leave to cool a little.
• Pour the dough into a standing mix to beat the dough until its cool, or use a wooden spoon and beat by hand. Beat the eggs in one at a time, waiting until each is completely incorporated before adding the next. When the dough is glossy and mixed, add the parmesan. Beat again until mixed.
• Spoon the dough onto the baking sheet in 1 tbsp balls, 5cm apart. Bake for 30 mins until crisp and golden. Remove from the oven and eat while still warm.
