Pão de Queijo With Tapioca Starch
Ingredients
Step by step process
Making the Dough
- 1
First finely grate both cheeses and put the tapioca starch in a large bowl.
- 2
Heat the milk with the oil and salt in a saucepan until the mixture starts to bubble lightly around the edges.
- 3
Pour the hot liquid into the tapioca starch and stir with a wooden spoon until a sticky, springy dough forms.
- 4
Let the dough cool for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, line a baking sheet with baking paper and preheat the oven to 200 °C.
- 5
Work the eggs into the lukewarm dough one at a time. Then stir in the cheeses and distribute them evenly.
Baking
- 6
Shape small balls with damp hands and place them on the baking sheet with space between them, as they will puff up during baking.
- 7
Bake for 25 minutes, until the rolls are puffed, light golden, and firm to the touch.
- 8
Let the finished cheese rolls rest on the baking sheet for 3 minutes and serve them while still warm.
More tips:
