Pao De Queijo (Brazilian Cheese Bread)
- 4 cups tapioca starch (such as Bob's Red Mill(R))
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 1/2 tablespoons salt
- 1 1/4 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend
- 3 eggs
- 2 teaspoons water, or as needed
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Pour tapioca starch into a wide bowl.
- Combine 1 cup water, vegetable oil, and salt in a saucepan; bring to a boil. Slowly pour over the tapioca, mixing with a spoon until evenly combined. Let cool slightly, about 10 minutes.
- Stir Mexican cheese blend and eggs into the tapioca mixture. Knead dough until soft and sticky, 5 to 10 minutes. Add water, 1 teaspoon at a time, if dough seems dry.
- Drop spoonfuls of dough 1 inch apart on the baking sheets.
- Bake in the preheated oven until lightly golden, about 25 minutes.
