Have you tried Brazilian Cheese Bread?
You have to try this recipe!
There are two kinds of people in the world, those who have tried Brazilian Cheese Bread, and those who haven’t. If you’re in the latter group, I’m sorry, your life just hasn’t been the best. But for those of you who have tried it, you know why my obsession is so real.
Think about your favorite breadsticks, how you open up those new ones that are warm to the touch, you break it open and it’s both crispy and soft, and the smell of that fresh bread has you in heaven. Think all of this and even more chewy, with different flavors like cinnamon or cheese and garlic, and gluten free!
These little cheese bites are made out of tapioca flour and cheese and have a crispy outer shell and chewy and fluffy center. Once you try it once, you’ll be begging to have them every day, I know I do!
In the 1700’s, wheat flour was scare in Brazil, it was incredibly difficult to grown in the Brazilian climate and so it was shipped in from Europe. The wheat that was available would find its way into the hands of wealthy European settlers because it was such a rarity. Brazilians discovered that they could make bread without the wheat, by using the cassava root, processed into the starch of tapioca, into delicious and airy bites of bread! In the years that followed, bakers would eventually add cheese and it became a recipe all Brazilians enjoyed, it’s called pao de queijo in Brazil!
