Easy Brazilian Cheese Bread

Brazilian cheese bread is a very popular recipe among Brazilians and is also often served as an appetizer at parties. Cheese bread has been known to grab the hearts of many.

Sometimes I’m just in the mood for cheese bread. I love this recipe because it has only 6 ingredients and comes in as one of the quickest and easiest recipes you can try. This popular Brazilian classic is better than any other cheese bread I’ve ever tried. The best part about making Brazilian cheese bread is that you can use a variety of fillings with it – such as the ones suggested below!

The Brazilian Cheese Bread recipe is from the archives, originally posted in 2013. I totally forgot how these cheesy bread could be so addictive. I was babysitting this past weekend and made the bread for my nephew and his friends. They devour most of them very quickly. 

For many of us, bread is bad because of our love-of-hate relationship with carbs. Tapioca flour is naturally high in carbohydrates and is considered a good gluten-free flour. It makes great tapioca waffles.

How to make the Brazilian Cheese Bread Recipe

The Brazilian Cheese Bread recipe is from SimplyRecipes.com. The recipe is simple, quick, and easy to make. The easiest part of the recipe is adding all the ingredients in a blender to mix and then in the muffin’s pan for baking. Isn’t that super!

Tapioca flour can be found in many supermarkets as well as on Amazon.com.  

I have tried the recipe with both whole milk and Lactaid milk.  The bread prepared with Lactaid milk had a lighter texture than the whole milk. Adding paprika spice is a great option for color and taste. Reheat in a microwave for a few seconds and revive these tasty pieces of bread.

The pieces of bread can last up to 3 days in the refrigerator.  For a healthier taste, add flaxseed. Cheeses such as parmesan, gouda, and asiago are tasty alternatives.

Perfect for a snack or a side, these amazing cheese rolls are made with local ingredients and are delicious.

Enjoy!

Equipment

• Measuring cups
• Measuring spoons
• Whisk
• Blender
• Mini Muffins Pan

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 1 Egg at room temperature
• 1/3 cup Olive Oil
• 2/3 cups Milk
• 1 1/2 cup Tapioca Flour
• 1/2 cup Queso Fresco Cheese Mexican Farmer’s Cheese
• 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt
• 1/2 teaspoon Sweet Paprika optional
• 1 teaspoon Flaxseed Flour optional

Instructions

 

• Preheat oven at 400 degrees F. Using a cooking spray, grease mini muffins tins (24). Put all of the ingredients into a blender and pulse until smooth. Use a spatula to scrape the sides of the blender and pulse again if necessary Bake in the oven for 15 – 20 minutes, until all puffy and just lightly browned. Remove from oven and let cool on a rack for a few minutes. Eat while warm or save for later.

Notes

Ingredients must be at room temperature for best results. If using a different type of cheese, use a soft and tangy cheese.

Brazilian Cheese Bread requires – two mini muffins tins for a total 24 breads. I have also substituted 1/2 cup of Queso Fresco Cheese for 1/4 cup Havarti Cheese and 1/4 cup Queso Fresco Cheese. This mixture was more flavorful in my opinion. With Parmesan Cheese, more moisture is needed. Not a great substitute. Batter can be stored in refrigerator for up to a week. Breads can be stored in refrigerator in plastic container or freezer bag and reheated.
