How to make Pão de queijo
I LOVE bread and finding new ones from different countries. We recently had some friends stay with. But wait, the plot thickens... They got this really yummy cheese bread. Turns out it was Brazilian (which is where they're from)! For about 2 weeks we got 6 pieces of Pão de queijo every other day. Then I realized how expensive it was and we decided to make it...

Here is the recipe!
2/3 cup cassava starch or tapioca flour-80 grams
1/4 cup precooked cornmeal you may substitute for polenta flour-40 grams
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups white latin cheese or queso para freir (we used queso fresco and it turned out amazing)-170 grams
1 teaspoon salt or more
1 teaspoon sugar
With your hands, shape into balls. I just did what I thought looked like enough of dough for each ball
Place balls onto the sheet pan
Bake for 15-20 minutes or until browned
Serve them now! They are best hot and never taste the same after!
Hurry eat that bread! You can also make the dough and then put it in the fridge or freezer to use later!
