Our tour of South america continues. After posting the moqueca recipe, a number of you requested basically were built with a recipe for Po de Queijo, or Brazilian cheese bread, kind of just like a soft cheese puff created using tapioca flour.
Ought to be fact, I actually do! My pal Bill provided this recipe years back, a popular from his Brazilian wife Silvia .
I’ve managed to get several occasions, every time with various cheeses. Discuss addictive! I’ve cut Bill’s original recipe lower to simply another, if I really designed a full batch (48) I possibly could conceivably eat all of them.
There are many methods to make Po de Queijo. One way includes cooked taters. One way is kind of just like a pte a choux that you prepare the dough first.
The fastest, easiest, short-cut technique is things i describe here (and the only method a number of my Brazilian buddies allow it to be). You place the components inside a blender. Pour them out right into a small-muffin tin, and bake.
The good thing about this recipe is you can create a big batch of batter and merely store it within the refrigerator (for approximately per week), flowing out just like many small-muffins as you would like to consume. You may also prepare these questions toaster.
The only real weird component is tapioca flour. Bob’s Red Mill causes it to be, and you may think it is at Whole-foods. Tapioca flour is gluten-free, which means this cheese bread is ideal for gluten-free eaters.
