Directions
Have you ever wonder what heaven on breakfast and/or cold day tastes like? the answer is Cheese bread. This bun is made all throughout South America and even France, know with different names such as Almojábana (whole Sout America), Chipa (Paraguay and North Argentina), Pandequeso (Colombian region of Antioquía), Pandeyuca (South America), Pão de queijo (Brasil), Gougère (France) having as common denominator fresh curdy/semi-hard cheese (typical of each country), eggs, milk and some flour (mostly cassava or corn starch). The differences come with ratios to prepare the dough and final texture, from crunchy and airy to soft and stuffed cheesybuns. The acid/sour flavor that comes from the starch, mixed with cheese makes the perfect combination for a piece of baked good to mix with a hot cocoa or an aromatic coffee as it’s done in Colombia.
The complexity of preparation of these buns is extremely low and doesn’t require waiting time. The bigest effort (if there is no food processor) will be grating the cheese and mixing together all the ingredients.

Bonus, you can freeze the cheese balls for other day in case you can't eat 50 of them. For this case, you can just bake 3/4 of time (around 10-12 minutes) and the cheese balls should look like the attached image, when cold freeze. |
