Brazilian Cheese Bread
Report
Brazilian cheese bread is light and fluffy yet cheesy and chewy on the inside with a beautifully crispy, crackled crust. Gluten free, too!

Ingredients
- 4 lices Bacon optional (See Note 1)
- 1 cup milk whole
- 1 egg large
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup Parmesan Cheese See Note 2, grated
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 2 cups tapioca flour (See Note 3)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Cut the bacon or pancetta into pieces. In a large skillet over medium high heat cook the bacon or pancetta until rendered, brown and crispy. Be sure not to burn. Drain on a paper towel and set aside.
- Using a blender or Vitamin add the milk, egg, oil and cheese. Pulse to blend.
- Add the salt, baking powder and half the tapioca flour. Pulse to blend and add remaining tapioca four and cooked bacon (optional). Blend to mix.
- Pour into prepared mini muffin pans coated with cooking spray and bake for 22-25 minutes until golden brown.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- Feel free to substitute two 1/2-inch thick slices of fresh pancetta for the bacon. This add is optional and not traditional.
- Feel free to use Pecorino Romano cheese if Parmesan is not available.
- I find tapioca flour at Whole Foods, Sprouts and Trader Joes. Bob’s Red Mill makes it, too. It is sometimes labeled as tapioca starch as well.
