Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredientes
  

  • 1 xícara tapioca granulada hidratada
  • 1 xícara queijo minas padrão light ralado
  • 2 unidade ovos de preferência caipiras
  • 0.5 xícara queijo cottage
  • 1 colher de sopa chia opcional para mais fibra
  • 0.5 colher de chá sal ou a gosto
  • 1 colher de sopa azeite pode trocar por óleo de coco

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (about 390°F). Prepare a nonstick baking tray or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, mix the hydrated tapioca, eggs, light Minas cheese, and cottage cheese until well combined.
  3. Add the chia seeds (if using), salt, and olive oil. Stir until you have a homogeneous and slightly sticky dough.
  4. Using lightly greased hands, shape small balls of dough (about the size of a walnut) and place them on the prepared tray.
  5. Bake for 20-22 minutes or until the cheese breads are puffed and golden on top. Do not overbake to keep them soft inside.
  6. Remove from oven and serve warm. Enjoy your healthy tapioca cheese bread!

If you love cheese bread but are looking for a healthier, gluten-free twist, this fit tapioca cheese bread is the answer. It’s a staple at Brazilian cafés and kitchens—perfect for snacks, a light breakfast, or even an inventive side. With tapioca flour and light cheeses, you achieve a delightfully chewy, golden bread with much fewer calories.

Practical Tips for the Best Result

  • Hydrate the tapioca granules correctly: This ensures softness. If needed, add 1-2 tablespoons of water before mixing with the other ingredients, especially if your mixture looks dry.
  • Cheese swaps: Can't find light Minas cheese? Try mozzarella or a mild provolone for more flavor. Cottage cheese can be replaced by ricotta or Greek yogurt for extra creaminess.
  • Eggs at room temperature help the dough come together more smoothly and give a lighter texture.
  • Grease your hands very lightly with olive oil before shaping to prevent sticking.

Techniques and Texture Hacks

  • Do not over-bake: Remove from the oven when they’re just golden for a soft, airy inside.
  • Add mix-ins like a pinch of oregano or fresh rosemary to the dough for personalized flavors.
  • For an even crispier crust, bake on a preheated baking stone or directly on the oven rack with parchment paper.

Serving & Variations

  • Enjoy warm with cottage cheese, requeijão, or a homemade chili jam for a sweet-and-savory punch.
  • Pair with black coffee or fresh juices for an authentic Brazilian experience.
  • Make mini cheese bread bites for parties or kids’ lunchboxes.
