Brazilian Cheese Bread (Pão de Queijo)

Stella T @Stella_T
Have you tried it with a different kind of flour? I can't find Tapioca flour here and I was wondering what the next best thing would be...

You can only make authentic Brazilian cheese bread with Tapioca flour. This is because of the effect of each type when kneaded or baked also differs. All-purpose flour is a baking ingredient usually made from grains. This flour makes gluten when worked or kneaded. When this protein forms in our dough, it makes it more stretchy and elastic, and when overworked, tight. This type of flour doesn’t really have much flavor. The good news here is that you can eat Pao de Queijo even if you’re in a gluten-free diet because it uses tapioca flour! It has a natural lightly sweet flavor although it crumbles easier. Try biting into it and you’ll notice that it’s very chewy.

Usually i find these recipes online though and just like to share it on Cookpad so everyone doesnt have to actually see the long video

It really is delicious it has a great texture, kind of crispy, and it is also not too cheesy ( depends on how much cheese u add) and its a good snack for maybe guests or even your self
