I'm Brazilian and this recipe is originally from my home state(Minas Gerais). You did it so right and I'm so happy and proud! Congrats!
sou mineiro, mas fala isso pros goianos.... :D ve o que eles falam :D
@@theosabbioni goiana tem a cultura deles e querem pegar a do mineiro kkkkk
Hi is there a brand of tapioca that's better to use? Making them in Ireland :)
@@andrewreid380 Marinez (Polvilho azedo) is the best brand of tapioca flour for you to make cheese bread, and if you can find it in a Brazilian store in your location, that'd be better. If it's not available, then go for Bob's Red Mill, if it's also available in your town. Just go ahead!😁
@@lilasic Hi Dalia, ok that's awesome I've heard of them thanks very much for the advice :) I'm addicted to them now 😁
my Brazilian friend gave me this yesterday and I'm in loveeeee
Pao de Queijo is so associated to my youth. My bag of Pao de queijo in the early morning , after a night out at the boate, watching the sunrise at the Arpoador before calling it a day. But, that being said, as a Brazilian who has lived abroad for 95% of her life, saudades is always in my heart.
Just made these and they taste EXACTLY like the ones I had in a Brazilian steakhouse!!! Super delicious and easy to make!
Hey, did you eat some other brazilian food besides Pão de Queijo?
@@ryangabriel3847 cala a boca ai o Google tradutor
@@berna_0883 kkkkkk que isso rapaz, pq todo esse ódio no coração?
@@ryangabriel3847 lkkkkkk foi mal
I tried to make this recipe but it didn’t work
I followed this recipe and the outcome was wonderful. I have repeated the recipe a few times, and it has become a house favorite. I was having trouble rolling the dough into balls. I tried using regula flour but it was messy. I decided to soak my fingers in water, and it worked, no more sticky fingers. I hope this helps guys. Thank you for sharing this excellent recipe.
I use a small ice cream scoop. Much easier!
I also wetted my hands to keep the dough from sticking, but I also had to add quite a bit more tapioca flour to the dough to firm it up and make it a little less sticky.
In Brasil we usually use cooking oil! This dough doesn’t seem to be the stickiest but there are some pão de queijo doughs that are really sticky and oil is usually the best thing to make it not stick on your hands
I slightly oiled my hands and they were perfect everyone in my house loved it
Love it :)
Um brasileiro aqui pra confirmar que é bom mesmo 😋 (a Brazilian here to confirm that it is really good 😋)
Damn, I understood that without reading the english part.
thats a good adaptation for international audiences, but in Brazil we dont use mozzarella and parmessan normally. we use a brazilian cheese called meia-cura
Out of Brazil we don't have meia-cura and polvilho is hard to find... 😕
Most frozen cheese breads here in Brazil are made with mozzarella and parmesan.
I agree it's like a blend of cheese right?
Just made this because they sell these super expensive at Starbucks and omg they came up practically the same but better (and cheaper) haha I’m so happy thank you for the recipe
Glad you liked them ❤
my friend said Brazil would be proud of me, thanks for the recipie!
This is the best recipe I’ve found and the easiest, that I have seen. My kids will love these!!! Thank you!!
And it's gluten-free...... Very healthy for kids!!
I cooked these with a slightly different recipe before I found out this is Brazilian recipe. This is beyond all, absolutely delicious. I used corn flour because we have no tapioca grown in our country;)
Hi, the corn flour variation sounds delicious. Which corn flour did you use? Corn starch? How did they compare to the tapioca flour? I'm trying these out asap, they look great👍
Thanx for sharing your adaptation. I’ll try this. Looks yummm. What do you eat them with
@@crystalcole888 I think it will be corn meal
It's interesting to see all these versions of pão de queijo because in Brazil it's not made with tapioca flour and mozzarella or parmesan cheese... 😊
@@patriciakessler3221 How is it made in Brazil?
My favourite food ever!! When I first came to Brazil, I didn't even know about it! I tried it there for the first time on the 2d day and ate it every single day we were in Ubatuba (for 3 months!!!) Lol
Also, Brazil was the place where I started my TH-cam channel, so if you guys are interested - welcome ❤️
I moved to Boston Massachusetts in 99 and the Italian was excellent and then I moved to Framingham, Massachusetts and discovered Brazilian cooking, everything about it is excellent especially the BBQ! I fell in love with Pan De Queso after frequenting the Brazilian bakery, it has such a unique, rustic taste. Well today I finally will try this easy looking recipe as I gathered all top quality ingredients but I forgot parchment paper, I'll slightly oil the sheet pan to avoid sticking! Here I go, wish me luck 🤞 lol. I love ❤ your recipe, cheers!
❤❤❤
@@TheCookingFoodieDelicious, I only got a dozen as my balls were too big but regardless excellent recipe, we ate half already! Highly recommend recipe!
AMAZING!!! MY Mom has a gluten allergy, and when we made this..? It was incredible!!! Thanks for your video! So Goood!!
I just made this and the texture is amazing! The dough was clumpy after I added egg so I use my hand to mix the dough until it became really smooth. the result was great! crunchy outside, soft and chewy inside. My kids love it. Next time, I would add 1tbsp of salt and some seasonings such as white pepper, grated garlic and oregano to spice up the taste. Thanks so much for the recipe =)
I am adding coarse sea salt plus a few finely chopped habanero at the very end before baking. nice and apicy
I love this I’ve had those when I visited Brazil I live in America went to Sao pulo twice
Come to minas gerais the state of pão de queijo
@@caua-6550 crlh, meu nome tbm e caua com c e eu vim de minas gerais ksksksksk
@@caua-6550 The Meme evolved! At least now there'll be a delicious prize at the end
OMG I’m Brazilian and love your channel so exciting to see this recipe
This works if you half the amount of liquid, 40ml oil & 80ml of milk. Using the recipe the mixture is way too runny and it won't rise, the ball will continue to flatten in the oven.
Amén! I used the Bob's Red Mill recipe of 1.5 c tapioca and 2/3 c milk and 1/4 c olive oil and 1/2 c cheese and salt, and they said to put it in muffin tins. That was quite necessary!
Yess.. Mine was also very liquidy and cant be rolled into dough at all :/
Wait mine worked perfectly whaaaaa
This was the best tip! After the first batch of flatter cheese breads, the next one with lesser liquid was perfect!
Yay! Now i don't have to pay $60 per person at my favorite Brazilian restaurant to mainly eat this! I love the bread! I will be going to my local store for tapioca flour tomorrow morning!
$60??? These things made incredibly well cost maybe $5 a batch you got robbed
@@theslamjamfrincisco2820 I believe she meant she paid $60.00 for the “RODIZIO” which is a tipical “all you can eat r” churrasco made with different cuts of meats, pork, our tipical “linguiça” ( sausage), and a very large variety of salads , cheeses, jams, etc. AND Pão de queijo, which she and her family loves.
I'm a fan of Fogo de Chão and their pan de queso! After watching your recipe and having the ingredients I push myself to do it and Violà ... they were amazing!!! thank you so much for the recipe!!! my family and me love it ❤️😋
Please, not pan de queso; “pão de queijo”. In Brasil we speak Portuguese. ♥️ ♥️
I'm from Portugal and these little cheese balls are elite I love them so much. Well done Brasil ❤❤
wooow you did it so right, i'm impressed!! I'm brazilian and it looks a lot like the recipe I make :)
Tip from brazil: you can put two tablespoons of wheat flour, this prevents it from wilting
Thanks 😊
Hi i just wanna ask can I use bread flour instead of wheat flour?
@@ela1ne579 I have never heard of this flour around here but from what I researched it is very similar to wheat flour, so I think you can try 🤷♀️
@@lavinyalibardi4377 okk thanks
Tip, if the dough is to sticky or shape or knead into balls. Wait 20 mins for it dry and wet you hands with cold water before handling the dough.
I usually stick it in the refrigerator for 15-30 minutes and that solves the soft sticky problem.
I just made these for dinner and these were delicious. I doubled the recipe and put some in the freezer (raw) and baked some. Texture and taste were perfect and delicious!!! Thank you!!!!
How many balls did the recipe make?
Hugs from Minas Gerais, Brazil! The state of Pão De Queijo!
You mean the state of the most delicious brazilian food?
@@adrielymoss9283 todos los estados de Brasil tienen buena comida, pero minas gerais es uno de los mejores
@MimMim gamesplay gracias?
Sou brasileiro
Morei no Brasil por 4 anos e gostava muito de pão de queijo. Adorei 😍
My mother made this years ago and i still miss its taste. When i asked her about it she didnt remember anything. I finally found the recipe, cause i had been searching for cheese balls and all sorst of other things were coming
I’ve made this recipe many times and it’s always so good right out of the oven!
❤😍
I been to belo horizonte and some small towns of Minas Gerais and pao de queijo. Tropeiro, feijoada and churrasco are the best
I have never tried making this bread and it tastes amazing, it was so easy to do, really easy ingredients, I switched the parmesan for a cheese from my country called queso duro and then added oil to my hands when forming the balls apart from that all was perfect ❤ thank you
Thanks for the recipe! I had them in store in my hometown Skopje (R North Macedonia) and I am so happy that I can make them at home in New Jersey with my family
I've enjoyed making these before. Lost recipe when my recipe book fell apart. Thanks. I like to add bits of spicy peppers too
I make a version of this but it’s slightly more liquid and we use a mini muffin pan - absolutely awesome! I might have to try this version
PÃO DE QUEIJO IS SO GOOD! I LOVE IT 😍🇧🇷
Pão de queijo é bom demais ❤️🇧🇷
Hugs from Brazil 🤗
This bread was sooooooo good quick and easy to make THANK YOU for the great recipe. The only tiny issue I had was that the dough wasn't firm enough to roll into a ball, to remedy this I freeze the dough slightly, add more flour to the mixture, or I use an ice cream scooper to shape the soft dough.
thank you so much. I have company that has been to Brazil and I will make this for them this Saturday!
This bread looks so delicious…
Thank you so much for this recipe I am in tears literally a food junkie ready to go to my local corner store and grab some milk and eggs to prepare these bad boys! Super excited about this one
How did they come out?
I made them and they came out DELICIOUS! Thank you!🌸☺️
nice :)
I'm Thai but i live in Brazil and I love Pão De Queijo a lot
Hola, he hecho esta receta en dos oportunidades y me salen súper ricas, a todos en la familia les encanta. Gracias
Thanks for this! I found cassava flour from a local African grocery store and followed this recipe. They turned out perfect!
Soooo delicious. I used water instead of milk, no difference. And added sesame seeds 😍
For those asking for a substutive flour. The tapioca one will give a "gummy" texture to the bread.
Tapioca flour, for those that do not know, is made from cassava. So try to find something similar =)
Pode usar tapioca starch também?
I bought tapioca starch pearls and put them in a blender so it would take on a flour consistency and it worked just fine (:
@@glasswingstv7954 smarttttt
Wowie loved this dish I too loved .
I always prefer and like other country food items and because Indian foood little get bored.
Love and hugs from India, Tamil Nadu Chennai.
eu fiz a receita e ficou gostoso demais. a textura dentro do pão era bem parecida do pão de queijo de minas. vou tentar com mussarela e parmesão na próxima vez. porque hoje eu só tinha Gruyere. brigada pela receita, viu !
Olá, você pode me dizer se ela faz com farinha de tapioca já hidratada? ou então é farinha de amido. obrigada
Pao de queijo its one of the best thing to eat in life! 🥰 I loved it! I’m Italian but my mom is brazilian so I love to eat brazilian food😍 Good recipe to share 🤗
That means you are both Brazilian and Italian and not just Italian. Unless it is your stepmom
@@Clarosey I am Italian because I was born in Italy and I live in Italy, my father is Italian, but I have Brazilian origins because my mother was born in Brazil.
@@DaiColoriaiSapori Ok understood 🙂
I love that this is gluten free!
I've been making these every other day. I love them . I'm gonna serve Christmas Eve with cold cuts. Shaped to their size and a little mustard. Like a mini sandwich. The guests csn stick them in the micro waveif t h e want it warm. Thanks for sharing
Sounds good 👍
My colleague made these for morning tea and they were amazing!! ❤
😍
¡De Minas Gerais para el mundo! Brasil❤
I put Mexican blend cheese and mayonnaise in my Pão de queijo and it tastes great as well
I lived in BH for more than one year and every single day I eated pão de queijo ❤

These came out perfect 😫🫶
I like that recipe
I love them . I tasted them some time ago and They were great. This recipe seems very easy. Thanks!!
Excellent recipe! 👍🏼👍🏼
Love how diverse your recipes are, Thank you for sharing 💗
Everything went perfect the first time. But today when I added the boiled milk and oil, it turned into some custard texture. I added more flour but it was as if it melted into the milk.
Maybe the wet ingredients were too hot. :/
Look easy, thank you so much
My mouth is salivating watching this lol
These are so good! Thanks for sharing
Totally awesome, everyone loved it and takes no time at all
I'm not gonna lie but there is a Brazilian restaurant that actually makes this and its really good if you haven't tried it yet you have to
Best recipe ..thanks cooking foodie
