Pao De Queijo Cheese Puffs Brazilian Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Bring the milk, salt, and margarine to a boil.
• Remove from heat.
• Slowly add manioc starch, stirring constantly until thoroughly mixed.
• Add the cheese and eggs.
• Knead until smooth.
• Form into balls approximately 2-inches in diameter and place on a greased baking sheet.
• Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
• Bake until golden brown.
• Eat while hot.
• Makes 20 cheese puffs.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 deg F. Lightly grease a large baking sheet or line with parchment paper.
• Put the butter, water, milk and salt in a medium saucepan, and heat until the butter has melted and the mixture has come to a full boil. In the meantime, put the tapioca starch in the bowl of your stand mixer.
• Pour the boiling mixture over the tapioca starch, beating to combine. Continue beating at a high speed until the mixture becomes smooth and elastic-looking - this will take only a couple of minutes.
• Beat in the garlic and cheese until well combined.
• Stick your finger into the dough. If it's uncomfortably hot, wait until it cools a bit. It should still be rather hot, but not uncomfortable.
• With the mixer going, gradually dribble in the beaten eggs, beating till well combined and smooth.
• Drop the mixture in 2 tbl balls (about the size of a golfball) onto the baking sheet, spacing about 1 1/2 in apart. Don't worry if the surface is a little rough - it will smooth out as it rises and bakes. The balls will flatten a little, but should hold their shape.
• Bake the rolls for about 20 minutes, until they have a freckled appearance (from the browning cheese) and begin to color a bit.
• Remove from oven and serve hot. Reheat briefly in the microwave if serving at a later time.
• Note: KA mentioned that tapioca starch or flour varies from brand to brand and even from batch to batch. You may need to add more tapioca, up to about 1/2 cup, to get a good consistency dough. If you've ever made cream puffs, that's the consistency you are looking for.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Grease a 48-cup mini muffin pan with vegetable oil.
• In a food processor, combine the tapioca flour, Asiago, milk, vegetable oil, salt, garlic and eggs. Process for 2 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
• Fill each mini muffin cup with 1 tablespoon of the mixture. Bake for 12 to 14 minutes, then remove from the oven and let stand for 2 minutes.
• Remove the pao de queijo from the muffin pan and enjoy.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Oil or butter a baking sheet and set aside.
• Heat the milk, butter and salt in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Remove from the heat and add the tapioca flour. Stir vigorously, then leave to cool a little.
• Pour the dough into a standing mix to beat the dough until its cool, or use a wooden spoon and beat by hand. Beat the eggs in one at a time, waiting until each is completely incorporated before adding the next. When the dough is glossy and mixed, add the parmesan. Beat again until mixed.
• Spoon the dough onto the baking sheet in 1 tbsp balls, 5cm apart. Bake for 30 mins until crisp and golden. Remove from the oven and eat while still warm.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Pour olive oil, water, milk, and salt into a large saucepan, and place over high heat. When the mixture comes to a boil, remove from heat immediately, and stir in tapioca flour and garlic until smooth. Set aside to rest for 10 to 15 minutes.
• Stir the cheese and egg into the tapioca mixture until well combined, the mixture will be chunky like cottage cheese. Drop rounded, 1/4 cup-sized balls of the mixture onto an ungreased baking sheet.
• Bake in preheated oven until the tops are lightly browned, 15 to 20 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
• Combine the canola oil, water, and salt in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Place the tapioca starch in a metal bowl; pour the oil and water mixture over the tapioca; mix thoroughly. Beat in the egg. Stir in the yogurt, Parmesan cheese, and mozzarella cheese. Pour the mixture into mini-muffin tins.
• Place on middle rack of the preheated oven. Reduce heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Bake until slightly golden, 25 to 30 minutes.

Steps:

• 1 Place the grated Parmesan in the bowl of a food processor. Add the eggs and yolks and blend until you have a smooth paste, about 1 minute. Set aside.
• 2 Place the two starches and salt in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Set aside.
• 3 Place the milk, water, and oil in a small saucepan, and bring to a boil. Immediately pour the milk mixture all at once into the starch mixture and turn the machine on at low speed. Mix until the dough is smooth and the starch is all incorporated, about 2 minutes.
• 4 Pause the machine and add the cheese and egg paste, scraping directly into the manioc starch mixture. Add the nutmeg, cayenne, and black pepper. Mix the dough at low speed until it turns a pale yellow, about 10 minutes. You are trying to develop the structure of the dough by kneading it slowly. The dough will feel a bit sticky and moist.
• 5 Transfer the dough to a bowl, cover it with plastic wrap, and chill for at least 2 hours in the refrigerator, or overnight.
• 6 Preheat the oven to 350˚F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• 7 Wet your hands with olive oil (alternatively, you can flour your hands with manioc starch) and use an ice-cream scooper as portion control to make 1-inch balls, rolling them with your hands. Place them on the baking sheet, leaving 1 1/2 to 2 inches between each roll (or you can freeze them at this point by storing them in a ziplock bag for up to 3 months).
• 8 Bake the cheese rolls in the oven until they puff up and look lightly golden brown, 12 to 14 minutes. To ensure even baking, rotate the pan once during baking time.
• 9 Remove the baking sheet from the oven and place the rolls in a basket lined with a napkin. Serve immediately while they are still at their warmest and chewiest.

Steps:

• In an electric mixer with a paddle attachment, blend the tapioca starch, salt and baking powder on low speed.
• Put the milk, oil, butter and 2/3 cup water in a small pot and bring to boil. Immediately pour it over the starch and mix at low speed until all the ingredients are blended and the dough is smooth, about 3 or 4 minutes.
• Stop the mixer and crack in the eggs. Mix at low speed for 8 to 10 minutes until the dough becomes sticky. Stop to scrape down the bowl and blade, but quickly resume the mixing.
• Stop the mixer and pour in the cheeses. Mix on low for 40 to 50 seconds, just enough to blend the cheeses into the dough.
• Refrigerate for 2 hours.
• Heat the oven to 375 degrees. With a small scoop take out small lumps of this soft, sticky dough and, after lightly dusting your hands with tapioca starch, form them into 1-inch balls. Keep dusting your hands as needed.
• Place the rolls on a baking sheet about 2 inches apart. (Leftover rolls can be frozen, then thawed before baking.) Bake for 20 to 23 minutes, until the flecks of cheese are brown and the crust is lightly golden. Serve warm, as they may get tough as they get very cool.
