Pão de queijo are gluten-free Brazilian cheese breads that have a crispy shell with a stretchy, cheesy centre. These pão de queijo have a pop of EveryMite for that classic Aussie flavour combination - without the cheese! Make sure you use starchy potatoes, look for ones that are good for mashing. Best eaten the day they are made.
Makes 12
Ingredients
- 2 large starchy potatoes
- 2 cups tapioca flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
- ½ teaspoon ground turmeric
- ¼ cup Bragg Nutritional Yeast Seasoning
- 1/2 cup boiling water
- 1/3 cup vegan margarine
- 3 tablespoons non-dairy milk (I use soy milk)
- 2 tablespoons EveryMite Spread


Method
- Preheat oven to 180°C. Line a tray with baking paper.
- Pierce the potatoes with a fork. Microwave for 10 mins or until cooked. Remove skin and mash well.
- Whisk together tapioca flour, salt, pepper, turmeric, and nutritional yeast in a large bowl. Set aside.
- In a smaller bowl, combine boiling water, margarine and milk.
- Add the liquid mix to the dry mixture and stir until combined.
- Add the potato and knead to combine.
- Divide the mixture into twelve equal portions and roll into balls.
- Flatten each ball slightly and add half a teaspoon of EveryMite to the centre.
- Mould the dough around the EveryMite so it is fully covered, then roll the dough into balls.


Baking
- Place on the baking tray, spaced about 3 centimeters apart.
- Bake for about 35 minutes, or until the outside is dry and the bottom is golden brown.
- Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving.
- Enjoy!
