Hello and welcome to In The Kitchen With Matt, I am
your host, Matt Taylor.
Today, I'm going to show you how to make an easy
Brazilian cheese, bread or Pao de queijo.
I think that's how you pronounce it.
I don't speak Portuguese.
I'm sure someone will correct me in the comments.
Super easy to do.
Only six ingredients.
And these are completely gluten free.
If you're familiar with like Brazilian steakhouses here in
the United States, like one here in Phoenix called Rodizios.
And there's a variety of them scattered throughout
the United States.
One of the foods that they bring to your table is this
Brazilian cheese bread.
And it's awesome and incredibly easy to make.

Let's get baking, down below
In the description box, you'll find a list of the
ingredients and their amounts.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit or 205 Celsius.
And now everything's going to be done in the blender, so what
we'll do is take our blender and add
three fourths of a cup of milk
and this is just a little modified recipe from the recipe
that's on the back of the red Bob's red mill, tapioca flour
packaging about a teaspoon, half a teaspoon of salt.
If you use a really salty cheese and you'll probably want
to reduce that
salt a little bit, one large egg, one third cup of
olive oil, the star of the dish.
This is one half cup of shredded cheddar cheese.
And you can use other cheeses, a very common cheese to use its
feta or also Parmesan cheese, jack cheese.
You could also use a mix like a quesadilla mix,
something like that, if you want.
And then we have tapioca flour, also known
as tapioca starch.
This is one and a half cups of this.
We'll put that in there and put on the top and we'll just blend
this up for just a couple of minutes until it's well
blended super easy.
All right, just like that, and then usually I'll come in
here with a spatula and just kind of scrape down any of
these corners where some of that starch, tapioca starts
with flour has kind of got stuck and it would just kind of
stir it in there a little bit.
And there it is ready to go.
And now we take a mini muffin pan and spray it
with cooking spray.
Or if you don't have the cooking spray, you can just
take some cooking oil and dab it on like a paper towel or a
clean cloth and then move it around until it gets the muffin
pan nice and covered.
And this is the classic size, the little mini muffin pan.
This is the classic size of these little
Brazilian cheese breads.
And then we'll just take our batter here and we'll just fill
them up almost all the way.
And then when you get to the end, just use a spatula to
kind of get the rest of it out of there, that's cleaning to
the side of your blender.
OK,
there we go.
So you should be able to get 24 of these and now we're going to
take this in the preheated oven again, 400 degrees
Fahrenheit or two or five Celsius on the middle rack and
bake it for about 20 minutes.
It's going to puff up and get lightly golden brown on
to that step.
And when they come out of the oven, they will look
something like this.
It'll vary a little bit depending on the cheese that
you use and then let them cool for about five minutes
in the pan.
And then we can transfer him over to like a wire rack
to cool completely.
And one thing I want to note that this is kind of a unique,
unique tasting bread.
It's really chewy.
So if you've never tried it before, it doesn't taste
like normal bread.
And as long as you spray the muffin pan, these will come
out really easy.
Look how it looks on the bottom.
Nice and golden brown and follows the shape of the
muffin pan, so you should be able to just pull these right
out without it sticking.
And after they have cooled a little bit, you can eat them
and I want to show you what it looks like on the inside when
you pull it apart.
Look at that.
Really interesting, and it may look like it's a little bit
underdone to you, but that's just kind of how these are,
you can bake them a little bit longer, but they're kind of
meant to look like this on the inside.
Adds to the chewiness.
Give it a taste.
Hmm hmm,
I love this.
There you go, easy homemade Brazilian cheese,
bread or pão de queijo, super easy.
Two very few ingredients.
If I can do it, you can do it.
