Pão de Queijo - Cheese bread balls
Cheesy gluten free parmesan bites made with tapioca starch! So addictive! They're great to have for tea or snacks as they do in Brazil for breakfast, my friends told me. Popular snack and breakfast food . It is a traditional Brazilian recipe, originating in the state of Minas Gerais. Enslaved people would soak and peel the cassava root and make bread rolls from it. At this time, there was no cheese in the rolls. At the end of the 19th century, more ingredients became available to the colonial community such as milk and cheese later on. They added milk and cheese to the tapioca making what we now know as pão de queijo. Inexpensive, delicious, very cheese bread. Best eaten warm. Do try these super easy delish cheesy bites. Many people will use yuca flour, but tapioca is just fine. TIP💡 If you won't bake everything at the same time but want leave something for next day, then just put the pre-made balls in fridge. Make sure you pre-make the balls, otherwise it is pretty hard
