For the Pão de Queijo

Method

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the yuca flour and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and olive oil. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until well combined.

  3. 3

    Add Cheese

    Fold in the grated Parmesan cheese until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

  4. 4

    Shape the Rolls

    Using your hands, shape the dough into small balls, about the size of a golf ball, and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Leave some space between each ball as they will expand while baking.

  5. 5

    Bake the Pão de Queijo

    Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the rolls are golden brown and puffed up.

  6. 6

    Serve Warm

    Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving warm. Enjoy your delicious Pão de Queijo!
