Heading to Brazil, a dream destination! Treat yourself to pão de queijo, a delicious Brazilian cheese bread that will delight your taste buds. We enjoyed tasty cheese cassava rolls with a green salad. My little ones ate everything. This easy recipe will enable you to prepare these fluffy and savory bites, perfect for appetizers or as a side dish. Made mainly with cassava flour, egg, and cheese, these rolls have a unique texture: crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.

Yields6 Servings
Ingredients
 1 Egg
 60 Yogurt
 25 Grated Parmesan
 25 Grated Emmental cheese
 200 Cassava flour (tapioca flour)
 5 Neutral oil
 Fine salt
Directions
1

Heat 5 tablespoons of salted water. Pour the cassava flour into a mixing bowl. Add the hot water and gently mix by hand, crumbling with your fingers, until all the flour is moistened.

2

Heat the oil. Add it to the wet flour. Mix with a wooden spoon.

3

Add 60 g of yogurt. Mix by hand. Crack the egg into a small bowl and beat it with a fork, then add it to the mixing bowl. Knead until the dough is soft enough to form balls.

4

Incorporate the grated parmesan and emmental. Mix. Taste to check the seasoning.

5

Preheat the oven to 230°C (thermostat 7). Roll pieces of dough between the palms of your hands to form balls about 4 cm in diameter.

6

To finish, place a sheet of parchment paper on a baking tray. Arrange the meatballs on top. Reduce the oven temperature to 180°C (thermostat 6). Bake for about twenty minutes, until the meatballs have puffed up and are golden. Serve hot or warm.

    With so little cheese, the breads were a bit dry, and the taste of the parmesan dominated too much. My suggestion: I made this recipe with 100g of emmental and replaced the oil with melted butter. The difference in taste was remarkable. I put the dough in small pastry molds, 20 minutes on the grill setting - absolutely perfect!
