Ingredients & Equipment You’ll Need

• 2 cups tapioca flour
• 1 cup milk
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/2 cups grated parmesan cheese
• 2 eggs

You’ll need a medium saucepan, a mixing bowl and a baking sheet.

Key ingredients here are the tapioca flour that gives P��o De Queijo its distinctive chewy texture and the parmesan cheese that brings the rich flavour. If you’re not a fan of parmesan, you can opt for mozzarella or cheddar; both work wonderfully in this recipe.

How To Make P��o De Queijo

1. Preheat your oven to 375��F (190��C).

4. Add eggs and cheese into the mixture.
5. Knead the mixture in the bowl for few minutes.
6. Form the dough into small-sized balls and place them on your baking sheet.
7. Bake in your preheated oven until the tops of the cheese breads are lightly browned, about 20 minutes.
