Pão de Queijo (brazilian cheese bread)

Step 1/7

• 180 ml milk
• 50 ml sunflower oil

• milk pot
• cooking spoon

Start putting milk and sunflower oil together on fire. Mix with a spoon cause the milk can boil out of pan quickly. Let it rest.

Step 2/7

• 300 g aged semi-hard cheese

• grater

Grate all cheese without rush and leave it.

Step 3/7

• 10 g salt
• 200 g sour starch
• 130 g manioc starch
• 1 egg

• cooking spoon

Use a spoon the mix all starchs gently with the oil-milk. When it looks like a wet flour, add the egg (preferably a brown egg, not the white one).

Step 4/7

Keep pressing and gradually add the cheese.

Step 5/7

• plastic wrap

When it becomes a homogeneous mass, let it rest for 30 minutes in the refrigerator using a plastic wrap.

Step 6/7

After 30min on fridge make your breads! That's is a little one, but I prefer make bigger, approximately 100gr each one.

Step 7/7

Put inside a preheated oven and be happy. I recommend a oven temperature about 200ºc.

Enjoy your meal!
