This easy Brazilian Cheese Bread recipe (Pao de Queijo) is a quick and simple side or snack! It's a great gluten-free bread that's puffy and packed with cheesy flavour!
Preheat oven to 375F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a saucepan, add the milk, oil and salt and heat until the milk is hot but is not yet boiling. Remove from heat.
Add the tapioca flour to the saucepan and stir until well combined.
Transfer the mixture to a stand mixer and using the paddle attachment, beat until smooth (about 3 minutes).
Add the eggs 1 at a time and the cheeses and mix on low speed until incorporated. The dough will be sticky at this point.
Use a small cookie scoop or a tablespoon and scoop the dough into balls, placing them on the baking sheets. Bake for 20 minutes or until they are puffed and golden brown.
