Pão de Queijo is made from "polvilho", which is a different type of cassava flour (there are two types of it: "doce" or 'sweet' and "azedo" or 'sour' which is a fermented version of 'doce'). We use both of them in the recipe because each bring a different property to the dough. Perhaps if you combine half cassava flour and half tapioca flour you'll get a similar result.

I think she also forgot to add enough oil to the milk - and maybe too much cassava flour. The best thing would be to actually go to a Brazilian supermarket to get the right flours!

Tips! Palm sugar taste better and it's a typical ingredients to use in Indonesian dessert instead of white sugar. It will gives you that deep, slight tanginess and caramelly goodness in your bubur ketan hitam. And I personally love to add more vanilla extract in my bubur ketan hitam. Vanilla + pandan leaves = sweet bakery aroma in your house! Also, try to add a little bit salt and cornstarch mixture in the coconut cream/milk to make it thicker, creamy and savory. It makes huge difference! Fun fact: bubur ketan hitam sellers usually serve it with white bread for you to dip it in the porridge! It is amazing! And i love your customization by adding almonds and sesame seeds on top! Looks amazing, Beryl!

[@aryw8634]

Enau and lontara tree comes from the same family as palm tree. Brown sugar in western country is granulated and is made from mixture of white sugar and molasses, while in Indonesia it usually called gula merah (lit. Red sugar), gula kelapa (lit. Coconut sugar) or gula jawa (lit. Javanese sugar). It has the same shape as palm sugar but darker. And it's made from the liquid/nira of coconut tree's stems. Keep in mind that brown and coconut sugar in the western world is granulated and some mixed with different ingredients, while in Indonesia it's shaped as solid cylindrical blocks and made from 100 percent pure without additional ingredients. And for Indonesian deserts it's totally optional to use average white sugar or the authentic Indonesian palm or coconut/brown sugar. But in this video, i suggest other people to use palm sugar (because it's taste better and not too dark in color unlike coconut/brown sugar, at least in my opinion).

[@polianekv]

As a Brazilian living in Canada, I always struggle when I want to make some homemade cheese bread. The reason is: you cannot find the ingredients easily hahaha! I think that both flours you have used are not the same as the ones that we usually make cheese breads in Brazil. In Canada, I'm able to find Polvilho Doce e Azedo (basically translating is two types of Cassava Starch, but not the same as you find in regular groceries) only in Brazilian Markets. Polvilho is the key ingredient to make a real cheese bread :) so, try to find a Brazilian market around you and ask them for Polvilho Doce (Sweet Cassava Starch) and Polvilho Azedo (Acid Cassava Starch), I bet that your cheese bread will taste and look amazing! Ah and try to add a combination of Manchego, Parmesan and Mozzarella cheese, it will taste like heaven! And... I'm feeling like making some cheese breads for dinner tonight haha And Baryl, I'm super impressed you tried cheese bread, because is not super easy, the dough sticks on your hand even if you use a bit of oil! You are awesome :) and thanks for trying one of the best comfy food that we have in Brazil.

[@Morgan-us6hr]

Hi there... How're you doing today hope you're safe over there?

[@sarcicarol]

Girl yes, I was so impressed that she made the dough from scratch too! It's hard even for us brazilians, we usually buy frozen dough and just bake it. Also, I feel that the pão de queijo that she didn't like very much because it was too "chewie" is our regular one here

[@karenluiza]

The Tapioca Starch is what we call "Polvilho Doce" in Brazil. Thats definitely the right one to use on cheese bread recipes, not cassava flour! There is a problem when trying to create this recipe on countries other than Brazil since the original recipe calls for 2 kinds of tapioca starch to reach the perfect structure: tapioca starch and fermented (cultured) tapioca starch. Yeah, that's exactly what you just read "cultured". The wet tapioca starch is left to ferment becoming more acidic and creating a funky cheese smell (a characteristic derived from many sorts of yeast) and also less starchy. Most of the recipes calls for both kinds because the regular tapioca starch (we brazilians call sweet cassava starch) gives this compact chewy texture while the cultured one enhances the flavor of cheese and creates air bubbles inside the dough during baking time and that makes it light and delicious. Anyway, you can make it only with the regular tapioca starch and you will get pretty close to the original one. Yes it's chewy/gummy inside just like the one in the video and resembles Japanese Mochi texture.

[@ChristinaFrenzel]

As a Brazilian living in Chile I use tapioca starch, but not this one from Red Mills.. Those from Thailand present better results and ends up softer!

You can try the recipe of "Chipa", is almost the same thing but in Argentina, Bolivia and Paraguay we call it that way. We made this really often and is not that hard actually. Maybe the recipe was not the best 🙃

[@fernandes.ricardo]

actually the very soft version of it that Beryl thought was wrong was just the right texture you should get. so if you give it a try, that's what it should look like (not only when it's hot, but also after cooling). unfortunately not the one she ate on camera :( as she didn't like the first version, i would say she possibly used the wrong type of tapioca flour, as in Brazil you always mix a "sweet" type with a "sour" type. Also, apparently she used only one egg, while, for that amount of dough, i'd say she should have used at least 4 or 5 of them, as that's what makes it soft. finally, i would have used more oil and you never ever should knead the dough. For those willing to try to make it, there's this amazing video here. I hope there are at least automatic subtitles available: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h2rbgoCEe6iFrtk

At home in France, we have a version of mac and cheese! We make a creamy and hearty bechamel with lots of black pepper, boil a full head cauliflower in salty water and cut in cubes really thick ham slices. We mix the whole thing together, top with gruyere cheese and in the oven to melt😌😌. That's my confort food, nothing can go wrong with a good bechamel ❤️ Edit: eat your vegetables

Hi beryl, maybe do a rice episode? I bet there will be tons of dishes. I’m from Israel and in my family we make rice pretty much every day.

We make it with milk, cinnamon dried fruits and nuts. It’s super simple

Hi beryl! you can mix 3 parts of cassava flour and 1 part tapioca flour. in brazil we use a different flour and I suppose you will not be able to find outside of brazil. it's polvilho azedo. it's a type of cassava flour that got something of "bad" in a process very simmilar with the aging process of soft cheeses. also, I think a better recipe for brazilian comfort food that not many people come to know it's vaca atolada (which translates to 'mired cow', as if a cow got stuck in mud). It's a stew with cow's ribs and cassava. cooked over the stove for hours. it's absolutelly fantastic.

[@gegarcia]

the "something bad" in the polvilho azedo (azedo meaning sour) is fermentation! 😁 and Beryl, you seemed worried that Brazilians would judge the way you made the pão de queijo but be very assured that it is super hard to make them, and I would NEVER make them from scratch. every grocery store sells them pre-baked and frozen, so we just heat them up in the oven

I have tried seriously milion types of flour outside of Brazil to make pão de queijo and conclusions its sad-there is no flour as in Brazil. Unfortunately pão de queijo will never be as good as made there. However sometimes you can find ready mix from Yoki outside Brazil. Using this you can get the closest to pão de queijos from Brazil i guess.

[@1789Henrique]

Oh, I'm Brazilian and I too love vaca atolada, but to me, the quintessential Brazilian comfort food will be always "bolinho de chuva". It's literally in the name: they're perfect to eat on a rainy day, under the blankets, with the whole family together. Bolinho de chuva, for sure!

Many Indonesian foods have unique aromas, unique flavors and unique spices. Many are not familiar with Indonesian cuisine.

In Germany there is this thing called “Nudelauflauf” which translates to noodle-casserole. It also has cheese but inside it is often made with some tomato sauce or some vegetables (like zucchini or broccoli) . The ingredients can vary a lot but if the dish contains noodles and was baked it still is called Nudelauflauf ☺️

We don’t change mac and cheese much in Australia. We do use what we call “tasty” cheese which is like a medium strength cheddar with a good amount of bite. Still often use mozzarella too, but I’ve known people to leave it out. Parmesan is even less common, just because of cost. I don’t know how common it is, but in my house we also put broccoli in it.
