Ellie Markovitch’s “Paeo de Queijo” - Cheese Bread

Ingredients:

1 cup of sour cream 
1 cup of finely grated parmesan cheese 
1 cup plus 2 Tbsp of Yuca flour

Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Make small balls by rolling about 1 heaping tablespoon of dough in the palm of your hand. Use the extra yuca flour to prevent the dough from sticking to your hands. Place on a parchment lined cookie sheet and bake in the middle of the oven for 25-30 minutes (Remember no peeking!) Remove from oven and serve immediately piping hot.

The Story

Known as the national treasure of Brazil, this cheese bread recipe is amazingly simply. Ellie adapted it from her mother’s recipe because we don’t have the same ingredients here in the US that are in Brazil. It has just three ingredients. Made with yuca flour, aka tapioca flour, they are gluten free.

Ellie shared 3 tips with me - once they are in the oven, you cannot peak for 30 minutes or the rolls will collapse - so NO PEEKING!! Ellie also shared that they are best eaten hot out of the oven. And lastly, double or triple the recipe because one batch will get eaten before it even reaches the table!
