Brazilian Cheese Bread {Gluten Free!}
Description
Brazilian Cheese Bread blends tapioca flour with queso fresco, egg, olive oil, milk, and salt to create a smooth batter. Baking in mini muffin tins produces small, puffed bread bites with a slightly chewy and airy texture distinct from wheat breads. The cheese adds a mild savory flavor complemented by the slight saltiness in the batter.
These cheese breads are best eaten fresh from the oven while still warm and puffy. The recipe yields enough batter for about sixteen mini muffins. The batter can be stored up to a week in the refrigerator, allowing for quick baking as needed.
Tapioca flour contributes to the characteristic elasticity and chew found in this gluten-free bread. The simplicity of ingredients makes it accessible for gluten-free diets or those looking for a different bread experience. No yeast is required, so the preparation is straightforward and does not involve rising time.
Ingredients
- 1 egg room temperature
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 2/3 cup milk
- 1 & 1/2 cups tapioca flour 170 grams
- 1/2 cup queso fresco packed (about 66 grams)
- 1 teaspoon salt or more to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Grease a mini-muffin tin. Put all of the ingredients into a blender and pulse until smooth, scraping sides when necessary. At this point you can store the batter in the refrigerator for up to a week.
- Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes, until puffy and just lightly browned. Remove from oven and let cool on a rack for a few minutes.
- This makes enough batter for 16 mini muffin sized cheese breads. These are best eaten the same day you make them, so only make what you need and then refrigerate the rest of the batter.
Notes
- Tapioca flour can typically be found in stores with a gluten-free section or purchased online if unavailable locally.
- The batter can be refrigerated for up to one week before baking.
- For freshness and best texture, consume the cheese breads the same day they are baked.
