CHEF JOHN'S BRAZILIAN CHEESE BREAD (PAO DE QUEIJO)



Chef John's Brazilian Cheese Bread (Pao de Queijo) image

Brazilian cheese bread is very easy to make, and features a chewy, cheesy, bready center, encased in a beautiful, thin, pastry crust. It also happens to be gluten free, thanks to tapioca flour, which is also responsible for the very unique texture. Happily, the ingredients are fairly inexpensive, which means you can play around with a few batches and see for yourself.

2 ¼ cups tapioca flour, or more as needed
⅔ cup milk
½ cup mild olive oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 ounces freshly grated mozzarella cheese
2 ounces finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
