Brazilian Cheese Bread (Pão de Queijo Mineiro) Recipe

If you can’t find Minas cheese, you can substitute with other semi-cured cheeses like Oaxaca or mozzarella, though the flavor will differ slightly.
Feel free to adjust the amount of Parmesan cheese based on your taste preferences. Some like a stronger Parmesan flavor, while others may prefer a milder version.
It’s important to grease your hands before shaping the dough into balls, as this will prevent the dough from sticking and make the process much easier.

For an even more indulgent flavor, try adding a small amount of butter to the dough along with the milk and water mixture.
If you’re using frozen dough balls, be sure to give them a little extra time to bake. They may take up to 40 minutes to fully cook from frozen, depending on the size of the dough balls.
