Brazilian cheese bread (Pão de Queijo)

cheese

🥗Healthier: low-fat cheese

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Low-fat cheese reduces calories while maintaining flavor.

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Grease a large baking dish or line it with parchment paper.

In a saucepan, combine milk, vegetable oil, and salt; bring to a simmer over medium heat.

Remove from heat and add tapioca flour; stir until well combined and a dough forms.

Allow the dough to cool slightly before adding eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

Stir in baking powder and black pepper until fully incorporated.

Fold in the cheese until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.

Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and puffed up.

Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before slicing.

Serve warm as a snack or side dish.
