This is an all time favorite of mine!
Brazilian food is definitely freakin’ delicious and this is by far one of the most well known Brazilian food.
This cheese bread isn’t like any other, it’s distinctive flavor and soft texture comes from the tapioca flour,
which comes from the cassava root.
Brazilian food consists in a lot of corn and cassava based products, those being largely grown and produced in Brazil.
These are so damn cheesy, the flavor is like POW!
Just ask anyone who’s been to Brazil, the one thing they wont stop raving about is the amazing cheese bread!
So go ahead and make them, they just so happen to be Gluten Free!

INGREDIENTS:
2 cups tapioca flour
1 1/4 cups milk
1/2 cup oil (preferably Canola)
2 eggs
14 oz parmesan cheese
1 tsp salt
.
DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 375ºF/190ºC.
Pour oil, water, milk, and salt into a large saucepan, and place over high heat.
When the mixture comes to a boil, remove from heat immediately, and stir in tapioca flour until smooth.
Set aside to rest for 10 to 15 minutes.
Add the eggs and parmesan cheese to the dough and knead thoroughly. If it’s too hot for your hands, use a wooden spoon.
The dough should be the consistency of normal bread dough, don’t worry if its really sticky, that’s totally normal!
Roll golf-ball sized balls of dough into your well-oiled hands.
Place on greased baking sheet and bake for 30 – 35 minutes or until golden brown on top.
