Brazilian Cheese Bread

Brazilian Cheese Bread

Aka pão de queijo...if you've never had these little cheese breads you're missing out on one of Brazil’s greatest gifts to the snacking world. These little cheese puffs are crispy outside, chewy inside, and naturally gluten-free — not that anyone cares once they bite in. They’re made with tapioca flour, which you can't substitute, but it's worth finding - and almost any supermarket will have it. They're amazing out of the oven, and dangerously addictive anytime after.

Makes 24
