How to Make Pão de Queijo (Brazilian Cheese Bread) 

😂😂😂

Your husband should make it for you!

Hi Sherman! I’m Brazilian and I have a recipe that I struggle with on rolling the dough! As you I never considered chilling the dough and to add the baking powder! I think these tips will help my pão de queijo keep its shape!!! Thank you ladies for these tips!

Cape cod is very Brazilian. Its like little Minas here. Except in the winter it snows.

Is not that hard to find the ingredients you just have to go to a local brazilian store to buy the yucca flower

Pão de queijo tastes better when you're sharing it with those you hold dear!

Coxinha

Costco sells it. Target too. However, it doesn’t seem to be a success. Their recipe is more authentic than this one though. You don’t want cheese bun to be “bready” as in this recipe. It should be mushy/shiny inside. The frozen ones at Costco are perfect in this sense but I think this is not good for the average American taste.

I know I'll be buying it if I see it while I'm shopping. Watching this made me seriously hungry.

@@gasgasgas those sold at costco and Target don't even come close to the taste of real pão de queijo. I do it at home and it gets many times better than those and I'm not even a professional hahaha

you can use sweet or savory fillings. Sweet fillings that go well are dulce de leche or jam. Savory fillings you can use cream cheese or pulled pork or peperonni. If you make a big pão de queijo you can make a gluten free sandwich for those who have problem with gluten.

As a Brazilian from Minas, I agree with this comment!

Agree!

Love the freezing tip!

Do you bake them from frozen state or must thaw before baking?! Looking forward to your reply.❤

@@KristinahaileyPermanentMakeup you should bake them frozen straight from the freezer to the oven, no need for thawing. Just lay them on a greased baking tray and straight to the pre-heated oven.

Hello, the recipe says 3 cups, but the video says 12ounces. What should I go by?

Yes. Tu está correct, i querer nada deixa

She said cheesewood! Hahaha!!!

@@eridu77 pau de quiejo lol

Nobody cares. Brazilians pronounce everything wrong too

Tapioca or gum is the starch extracted from cassava. It is the main ingredient of some typical Brazilian delicacies, created in Brazil in Pernambuco in the 16th century.

I agree😉

Allen, this recipe is quite different of the real brazillian pao de queijo. No baking powder, definetelly. So if I could help you, I recommed you to wait the yuca cold down after hot milk and then put the cheese and eggs, one by one using your blessed hands till you get the texture and roll the breads. Here we use mozzarela instead all those cheeses and it gets amazing! Not so salty and still incredible

Jamie Mcwilliams It does. The tapioca starch is sold in a box as “CHEBE PIZZA MIX”. You can get it on Amazon.

true, the egg wash is something I've never ever seen in a pão de queijo recipe (I'm Brazilian and this is seriously the ultimate savoury snack for me)

Still never been able to make a good version using his recipe, though. But his looks the best on camera, for sure I think haha

Nah, only when they make Dry Aged Sous Vide Wagyu Picanha Cassava Bread

If you can get cheddar, a well-aged extra sharp cheddar is really nice in pao de queijo.

@@Zelmel Thanks, I too thought an aged, drier cheese might also work.

The best cheese for this bread is feta, which I mix with mozzarella and a little parmigiano or provolone. Don’t use only one type of cheese if you want the right texture.

@@DouceVipere Thank you!

yes, don't stress about it. you can also freeze the dough so you have pão de queijo whenever you want =)

Zelmel You will be very happy weighing your flour. I do it all the time now, as I live in the desert. My bread dough was always too dry, but now it's perfect every time.

Next purchase...a gallon tub of tapioca flour..lol

In Brazil we do that! But I don't know if you can do it using this recipe. I think it can work 🙂

absolutely!

Do you guys spell it pandebono?

@@juansierra5704 yes, sorry you are right.

That one hurts so bad to see

Why?

The finished cheese ball is delicate and does not need the crusty effect that eggwash could give it.

@@ellengregory8002 because you will never see a Brazilian doing that. It's simple not right. Changing the recipe because you don't have the cheese is one thing (an understandable one), using a egg wash is a total different one.

@@joaopaulolazari1397 Oh so it doesn't hurt anything then. I thought there might be some reason they would want to avoid it, as theirs with the eggwash looked pretty good. But they shouldn't do it because it's not usually done. Ok.

I don't think so... Try "pão de queijo vegano" on youtube

I wish Guga were here.

Yes, of course they could hire a Brazilian person and fly them up to Boston, put them up in a hotel, film them making the recipe and then pay for their flight back home. Or they could use the perfectly good, talented staff already on the payroll and already have a great rapport and have connected with their audience, to demonstrate the recipe as they've done here. If you have employees, you'll understand how important it is to hold onto those who have done their job exceptionally for literally decades rather than randomly searching for people in other countries to replace them with, solely for the sake of advancing "diversity".

@@ellengregory8002 Some people will never ever be happy.

Why do you say, “man oh man?” That’s misogynistic. You shouldn’t use phrases that exclude women. Have a blessed day.

@@wotan10950 😁

Agree!

Why not? Theirs looked good.

It might be 2 reasons: you aren't splashing hot liquids (milk+oil) into the flour, hydration phase; And/or you aren't using a tapioca flour that contains a part of sour tapioca. There are 2 kind of tapioca flour: "Doce" (sweet) and the sour (fermented) one. The "sweet" version gives your cheese bread a more soft, gummy or chewy aspect, sometimes a like bubblegum. The sour version gives it a more hard and airy aspect, plus a funky flavor (from the souring/fermentation process of the flour), that funky flavor improves the cheese flavor of your bread. Although you may use only one of them, the best result is mixing a part of both, in the ratio you prefer, start using 50/50. In case you can't buy them, or they aren't identified as sour and no-sour, try to guess the presence of the sour tapioca by its smell (the funky/cheese smell), or just change the brand.

The US doesn't use imperial measuremnents. We use United States Customary Units and SI. And this is no more ridiculous than random cranky foreigners who constantly feel the need to whine about a perfectly functional system used in a foreign country that does not even affect them . That is ridiculous.

@@ellengregory8002 🤦🏻 Ridiculous "American"* exceptionalism at its worst. (you USians even confiscated the name of the continent, ffs) It does affect the rest of us! When we see your measurements in recipes on this International site, that host videos, on this thing called world. wide. web. Get real. Really.

wilfing - You mean an American channel, on an American website, hosted on an American invented technology that you’re complaining about? You must be a Canadian. You’re jealous that your country isn’t as relevant as AMERICA. America is the envy of the world 😂😂

USian ain't a word.

@@aleka.. 1. Yes, it's American exceptionalism to point out to another uninformed foreigner that the US does not use the imperial system as they constantly accuse us of. Of course it is. Do you even think about what you're saying? 2. The name of the continent is North America, not "America". If you were better educated, you would know that the US, like China, India and the vast majority of people across the globe use the seven continent model, in which South America and North America are separate continents. The five continent model is used by a relatively small number of people worldwide. 3. The name "Americans" was given to people living in the colonies of North America by Europeans long before the republic was founded. We did not name ourselves, yet "Americans' is now what we are known as, whether you want to make up cute little names for yourselves to use or not. The entire world understands that the word "American" refers to citizens of the USA. Get over it.
