Pão de Queijo, Brazilian Cheese Bread

Heat the oven to 180C and arrange 2 racks to divide the oven into thirds. Line 2 baking trays with baking paper.

Place Tapioca Starch Flour in a large bowl. Heat Milk, Water, Oil and Salt in a saucepan and bring to the boil, stirring occasionally. Then add it to the Tapioca Flour, quickly stir and mix until you see no more dry Tapioca Flour. You might need a great deal of muscle to mix until smooth.

Beat in the Egg gradually and mix well until smooth. Add the grated Cheese and keep mixing until completely smooth. Whew, the hard work is now over! The dough is very sticky, stretchy and soft.

Wet a spoon and your hands, make about 2 to 3cm balls and place them on the prepared baking trays. I usually place 12 balls per tray.

Bake for 15 minutes. Rotate the baking trays between racks to bake evenly. Bake 10 more minutes or until the Bread Rolls have puffed and slightly coloured. Cool for a few minutes and serve warm.
