Ingredients

  • 1 cup Tapioca flour
  • ½ cup Milk room temperature
  • ¼ cup Vegetable oil
  • 1 Large egg room temperature
  • ½ teaspoon Salt
  • ¼ cup Mozzarella cheese
  • ¼ cup Cheddar cheese

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400 F.
  • In a blender jar or a food processor bowl, add the tapioca flour, milk, oil, salt and egg.
  • Pulse it a few times to blend it into a smooth batter.
  • Add the cheese and just do couple of small pulses to combine everything.
  • Grease the mini muffin pan liberally.
  • Fill each hole halfway with the batter. This allows plenty of space to let the bread puff up.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes until the bread is crusty on the outside and lightly browned. Mine took only 15 minutes to bake.
  • Remove the pan from the oven and let it sit for couple of minutes in the pan. Carefully remove the Pão de Queijo in a bowl and serve warm.
