Hi is there a brand of tapioca that's better to use? Making them in Ireland :)

[@lilasic]

@@andrewreid380 Marinez (Polvilho azedo) is the best brand of tapioca flour for you to make cheese bread, and if you can find it in a Brazilian store in your location, that'd be better. If it's not available, then go for Bob's Red Mill, if it's also available in your town. Just go ahead!😁

thats a good adaptation for international audiences, but in Brazil we dont use mozzarella and parmessan normally. we use a brazilian cheese called meia-cura

[@patriciakessler3221]

Out of Brazil we don't have meia-cura and polvilho is hard to find... 😕

Most frozen cheese breads here in Brazil are made with mozzarella and parmesan.

Pao de Queijo is so associated to my youth. My bag of Pao de queijo in the early morning , after a night out at the boate, watching the sunrise at the Arpoador before calling it a day. But, that being said, as a Brazilian who has lived abroad for 95% of her life, saudades is always in my heart.

[@yelli.travel9452]

My favourite food ever!! When I first came to Brazil, I didn't even know about it! I tried it there for the first time on the 2d day and ate it every single day we were in Ubatuba (for 3 months!!!) Lol Also, Brazil was the place where I started my KZbin channel, so if you guys are interested - welcome ❤️

[@RumorsofWAAAGH]

I followed this recipe and the outcome was wonderful. I have repeated the recipe a few times, and it has become a house favorite. I was having trouble rolling the dough into balls. I tried using regula flour but it was messy. I decided to soak my fingers in water, and it worked, no more sticky fingers. I hope this helps guys. Thank you for sharing this excellent recipe.

[@emyitsme1896]

I use a small ice cream scoop. Much easier!

[@kirkjohnson6638]

I also wetted my hands to keep the dough from sticking, but I also had to add quite a bit more tapioca flour to the dough to firm it up and make it a little less sticky.

[@annaschneider2715]

In Brasil we usually use cooking oil! This dough doesn’t seem to be the stickiest but there are some pão de queijo doughs that are really sticky and oil is usually the best thing to make it not stick on your hands

[@r_hal93]

I slightly oiled my hands and they were perfect everyone in my house loved it

Next time, I would add 1tbsp of salt and some seasonings such as white pepper, grated garlic and oregano to spice up the taste. Thanks so much for the recipe =)

[@johnnyfox7314]

This works if you half the amount of liquid, 40ml oil & 80ml of milk. Using the recipe the mixture is way too runny and it won't rise, the ball will continue to flatten in the oven.

I'm from Portugal and these little cheese balls are elite I love them so much. Well done Brasil ❤❤

Tip, if the dough is to sticky or shape or knead into balls. Wait 20 mins for it dry and wet you hands with cold water before handling the dough.

[@bobbiedeleon4845]

I moved to Boston Massachusetts in 99 and the Italian was excellent and then I moved to Framingham, Massachusetts and discovered Brazilian cooking, everything about it is excellent especially the BBQ! I fell in love with Pan De Queso after frequenting the Brazilian bakery, it has such a unique, rustic taste. Well today I finally will try this easy looking recipe as I gathered all top quality ingredients but I forgot parchment paper, I'll slightly oil the sheet pan to avoid sticking! Here I go, wish me luck 🤞 lol. I love ❤ your recipe, cheers!

For those asking for a substutive flour. The tapioca one will give a "gummy" texture to the bread. Tapioca flour, for those that do not know, is made from cassava. So try to find something similar =)
